Luwian is written in two scripts: Cuneiform and its own Hieroglyphic, which survives mostly on stone monuments collected from Turkey and Syria. The texts fall into two main groups, those of the Hittite Empire (c. 1400-1200 B.C.), and those of the Iron Age (c. 1000-700 B.C.), with a transitional period (c. 1200-1000 B.C.). One of the editor's principal research efforts has been the establishment of reliable texts presented in facsimile copies and photographs. His \u003cem\u003eInscriptions of the Iron Age\u003c\/em\u003e were published as Vol. I in 2000, and the great \u003cem\u003eLuwian-Phoenician Bilingual\u003c\/em\u003e in collaboration with Halet ﾇambel as Vol. II in 1999. Vol. III will present the Inscriptions of the Hittite Empire along with the newly discovered Iron Age inscriptions, thus completing the whole corpus. It will then make available to the scholarly world the Luwian language in its Hieroglyphic manifestation, which will be of importance to philologists and ancient historians alike. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John David Hawkins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3110770393\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783110770391\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/06\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 924\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"John David Hawkins","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44760997134591,"sku":"9783110770391","price":206.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0489b561-9431-4e54-82da-fc78bba1b10c.jpg?v=1706680092","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/corpus-of-hieroglyphic-luwian-inscriptions-john-david-hawkins-9783110770391","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
