Sevgul Cilingir Cesur presents the first scholarly edition of 50 previously unpublished Hittite cuneiform fragments kept in the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations in Ankara, catalogued under inventory numbers Bo 9032-9097. Originally unearthed during the earliest excavations at the Hittite capital Hattusa (Bogazkoy), these tablets represent a range of genres. Festival texts constitute the largest group, followed by rituals, cult inventories, oracles, prayers, treaties, and instructions. Bo 9032-9097 also includes a fragment of a deposition, a historical composition, a ration list for local festivals, an inventory of ivory objects, a record of precious metals, as well as a fragment of annals. Each text is accompanied by photographs, cuneiform hand-copies, transliterations, translations and philological notes. By making these texts available for the first time, the volume contributes substantially to the study and continued publication of the Bogazkoy-Hattusa cuneiform archive.
