Proverbi e massime di saggezza nell'Anatolia ittita: morfologia e contesti

Hittite cuneiform texts show a frequent use of proverbs and sayings. These include simple proverbs with a binary structure and more complex maxims with a sapiential flavour. They can be seen as micro-texts which, among other things, shed light on a literature that has not come down to us. Studying them in context clarifies aspects of Hittite rhetoric and strategies of communication in Anatolia of the Late Bronze Age.
