Reinigungsrituale aus Kizzuwatna - Ein Beitrag zur Erforschung hethitischer Ritualtradition und Kulturgeschichte

This volume addresses a series of ritual texts from the Hittite capital of Hattusha, written by authors from Kizzuwatna (South-eastern Anatolia). These Kizzuwatna Rituals, as they are known, document an independent Kizzuwatnaic ritual tradition. They prove to be one of the most important sources for the cultural exchange between Hittite Anatolia, Syria and Mesopotamia in the second half of the 2^nd millennium B.C.
