Luwian language belongs to the Anatolian group of the Indo-European
language family and thus constitutes a close relative of Hittite. As a
rule, the Luwian cuneiform passages represent incantations embedded in
Hittite religious texts. Although their full corpus was published in the
twentieth century, no attempts at their cohesive philological
translation has been undertaken up to now. The volume Luwili:
Hittite-Luwian ritual texts attributed to Puriyanni, Kuwattalla, and
Šilalluḫi (CTH 758–763) represents the first step toward achieving this
goal. Ilya Yakubovich and Alice Mouton, two Hittitologists specializing
in Luwian Studies and Anatolian ritualistic traditions respectively,
joined efforts in order to approach the Hittite-Luwian rituals from both
linguistic and anthropological perspectives. The rituals that they have
edited there contain more than fifty percent of the Luwian cuneiform
corpus. Their research contributes to two different fields: first, it
helps the scholarly community to understand better the Luwian language,
second, it impacts the study of Anatolian religions. The authors
attempted to avoid the technical jargon in as much as possible, while
the layout of the edition, where the transliteration and translation are
aligned with each other on two symmetrical pages, should facilitate its
reading.
