Hittite texts
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|
The corpus of texts written in the Hittite language is indexed by the Catalogue des Textes Hittites (CTH, since 1971).[1] The catalogue is only a classification of texts; it does not give the texts. One traditionally cites texts by their numbers in CTH. One major source for studies of selected texts themselves are the books of the StBoT series.
