The Oriental Institute announces the in-print and online publication of a new title, Unpublished Bo-Fragments in Transliteration 1: Bo 9536-Bo 9736.
This monograph offers a large number of unpublished text fragments in photo and transliteration and gives succinct philological notes to these fragments. Oğuz Soysal, an experienced Hittitologist and the author of a number of important publications, provides photographs and transliterations of each piece. Photos offer the users of his book all the information needed on the sign forms of the fragments, and the transliterations show how Soysal has interpreted those signs. Wherever necessary, Soysal gives philological notes to explain certain forms or to present relevant text variants. Each fragment, if possible, is accompanied by information on its assignment to a Hittite text or text genre, the date of the composition, the fragmentʼs measurements, and previous bibliography. After the presentation of the fragments highly useful indexes on onomastics and lexicographical matters close the book.
