Hoffner and Melchert’s long-awaited work is sure to become both the standard reference grammar and the main teaching tool for the Hittite language. This volume includes a thorough description of Hittite grammar, grounded in an abundance of textual examples. Moreover, the authors take into account a vast array of studies on all aspects of the Hittite language. In the five decades since the publication of the second edition of Johannes Friedrich’s Hethitisches Elementarbuch, our knowledge of Hittite grammar has become more detailed and nuanced, thanks especially to the new texts available and the growing body of secondary literature. This volume in the Languages of the Ancient Near East series fills a serious gap and will be a comprehensive reference for decades to come. It includes a tutorial consisting of a series of graded lessons with illustrative sentences for students to translate. The tutorial corresponds to the reference grammar and provides extensive notes on every chapter.
