By God's Grace: Ancient Anatolian Studies Presented to Aram Kosyan on the Occasion of his 65th Birthday [Hardcover]

This volume honours Professor Aram Kosyan at the occasion of his 65th birthday and his academic career spanning over four decades. The twenty-eight essays by his colleagues from the international scientific community who contributed to this volume focus mostly on Bronze and Iron Age cultures of Anatolia and the Armenian Highlands, offering papers on history and archaeology, beliefs and religions of the Hittites, Luwians, and other ancient societies of these regions. A large group of papers deals with linguistics, onomastics, and writing culture, including textual studies of primary sources, Cuneiform Hittite and Luwian Hieroglyphic inscriptions in particular, as well as papers on ancient trade relations and modern trade in counterfeit antiquities.
