Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Building on the course Introduction to Hittite I, this course introduces the students to their first extended readings in Hittite. Students will read assigned passages from the Annals of Muršili II in both transliteration and cuneiform handcopy. Emphasis will be placed on mastering the grammar presented in the first course. Goals of this course include gaining greater proficiency in Hittite through reading authentic texts in the original language. Texts will cover a wide range of topics and genres, dating from different periods, e.g. hagiographies, chronicles, and poetry, along with (potentially) magical and scientific texts.
Assessment and permitted materials
For the exam, students will have to demonstrate the ability to translate an excerpt from a Hittite text on their own. The exam is open-book, meaning that students may use class notes, grammars, dictionaries, and power-points from the class.
