= Devecchi E., Treaties, Ancient Near East, in: Erskine A. − Hollander D.B. − Papaconstantinou A. 2021a 1-2 (online). [Online, DOI: https://doi.org/10.1002/9781444338386.wbeah01196.pub2. Abstract: "Ancient Near Eastern treaties were contractual agreements between two political entities, in most cases between two kings. Numerous treaties survive in written form, and others are known indirectly from other types of source, such as royal inscriptions, historiographic compositions, and letters. They date from the twenty-fourth until the seventh century BCE, but the best-preserved and largest group dates to the Late Bronze Age (ca. 1550–1200 BCE) and was recovered in the archives of Hattusa, the capital of the Hittite kingdom".] Neue Abfrage | New Search
