Functional Differentiation in Hittite Festival Texts: An Analysis of the Old Manuscripts of the Ki.Lam Great Assembly

By James Burgin

This book investigates how the clay tablet record of the Hittite festival tradition interfaced with the reality of Hittite festival performance. It is argued instead that the Hittite festival texts recorded the multiple perspectives, based on their specialized needs, of the cultic actors tasked with correct performance of the rites.
