= Mora C., Anatolian Hieroglyphic Documentation, in: HHE 45-91. [Ch. 2; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110661781-003. Abstract: In the last phase of their history, the Hittites used a ‘new’ writing, conventionally
called ‘Anatolian Hieroglyphic writing,’ in addition to the traditional
cuneiform script. This chapter first describes all the types of documents and
media for which and on which this writing was used, its operating system and
the phases of its decipherment; it then addresses the problem of the origin of
this ‘new’ writing (when and why?); and lastly, it attempts to identify the reasons
for its use and dissemination in the Hittite imperial era and in the subsequent
neo-Hittite period during the Iron Age.] Neue Abfrage | New Search
