| Summary: | The Bronze Tablet, issued by Tutḫaliya IV for Kurunta, the king of Tarḫuntašs̆a, contains one of the best preserved and most studied Hittite treaty texts. The treaty represents one of the most important sources for the reconstruction of the political relations between Ḫatti and Tarḫuntašša. In comparison to other Hittite treaties, the text presents a number of peculiarities, both with regard to its content and its structure. This paper analyses the use in the Bronze Tablet of the terminology of "bond" (TUPPU RIKILTI, is̆ḫiulas̆ TUPPU, isḫiul-) and "oath" (lingai-Zlinkiya-, MĀMĪTU), i.e., the terminology that indicates the constitutive parts of a Hittite treaty. The study argues that the distinct use of these technical terms is partly to be explained as due to the compilatory process involved in the composition of the text and partly reflects specific juridical and political ideas and goals that the composers of the text wished to express. |
