Böcker av Charles Burney

First published in 1771, this account by Charles Burney (1726-1814) traces one of the journeys he undertook as part of his research for his most famous work, A General History of Music. It provides invaluable first-hand insight into European musical life and practices in the eighteenth century.

The A to Z of the Hittites covers Hittite civilization from its origins through hundreds of entries on important persons, places, essential institutions, and the significant aspects of the society, Kingship, government, economy, material culture, and warfare of this ancient people. A 16-page photospread, introductory essay, chronology, and bibliography complement the dictionary entries. Scholars, students, and general readers who are interested in ancient history will find this a valuable reference work about the Hittites and about the rediscovery of the Hittites.
