La civiltà degli Ittiti, sviluppatasi in Anatolia nel secondo millennio a.C., ha tramandato il corpus di trattati internazionali più considerevole e meglio conservato di tutto il Vicino Oriente antico. Conquiste e ribellioni, alleanze matrimoniali e conflitti dinastici fanno da sfondo alla conclusione di questi accordi il cui intento era di definire i rapporti fra il regno ittita e i vassalli anatolici e siriani oppure con altri regni microasiatici indipendenti. Diritti e doveri delle controparti venivano stabiliti da un sistema di norme che regolamentavano alleanze militari, confini, successione al trono, pagamento di tributi, spartizione dei bottini, restituzione di prigionieri e numerosi altri aspetti della convivenza tra le diverse entità politiche. Stipulati fra la prima metà del XV e la fine del XIII sec. a.C., i documenti raccolti in questo volume sono una fonte inesauribile di informazioni riguardo alla storia del regno ittita e in generale del Vicino Oriente del Tardo Bronzo come anche circa gli elaborati meccanismi che regolavano la diplomazia internazionale del tempo.

The present dissertation is concerned with the KIN oracle, a symbolic divination technique produced by the Hittite in the 2nd mill. B.C. and developed only in the Hittite cultural milieu. Like other omens of the Ancient Near East, the Hittite oracles were considered to be messages from the gods. The Hittite solicited omens included Extispicy, Augury, the Bed Oracle, the ḪURRI-Bird Oracle, the Snake Oracle, and the KIN Oracle. Although many studies have already explained how the different divination systems worked, the KIN oracle frame still remains difficult to understand in all of its features. In this research the KIN cuneiform sources and its oracular structure have been analyzed in all respects and enriched with tables, patterns, and pictures in order to better understand the work carried out. As far as the KIN is concerned, this research provides several different analytic implications both for Hittite and divination studies.

This second monograph of the AANE project is a study of historical geography. It is inspired by the national Hittite textual tradition and in continuity with the important work that Massimo Forlanini and Massimiliano Marazzi published in 1986 for the Historical Atlas of the Ancient Near East, founded and directed by Mario Liverani, with the collaboration of Lucio Milano and Alba Palmieri. The volume proposes a meticulous and capillary reconstruction of the eastern political and military frontier of the Hittite Empire centered on historical and territorial information from the archive of Mashat-Höyük, the ancient Tapika (a hundred kilometers east of the capital Boğazkale / Hattusa)
