Hettite toposs in hieroglyphic historiography. Notes on continuity issue

Summary/Abstract: The research of the last two decades revealed a multi-faceted political and historical continuity between the Hittite Empire and the so-called Neo-Hittite states. This article investigates a hitherto neglected aspect, the literature. Though the investigation must be restricted to the historiography due to the oddities of the tradition of Luwian texts, their motifs and stylistic devices unambigously show that these texts are organic followers of the Hittite historiography (and that they acquired many own characteristic features in the course of time). Although the exact technical details of the transmission between the Hittite Empire and her successors require further investigations, the monumental inscriptions of the Hittite Great Kings and the successor state in Karkamiš must have played a central role in this process.
