This handbook offers a concise survey of the history of Syria from the emergence of the first states on Syrian territory to the conquest by Alexander the Great. Each chapter begins with an introduction to the pertinent archives and continues with an outline history referring to all relevant textual sources and to the scholarly discussion. An extensive body of material is clearly presented--from the cuneiform texts of Ebla to the testimony of the Bible. The volume concludes with maps, synchronistic tables, and three indexes.

A Handbook of Political History

Syria 3000 to 300 B.C.

Klengel's Geschichte des Hethitischen Reiches is the first modern handbook encompassing the whole of the political history of the Hittite Empire (ca. 1700-1200 B.C.). Organized in a strict chronological order, with separate sections on sources and secondary literature preceding each chapter, with chronological tables, a bibliography, and a separate section on political structure, this will be a standard reference work in the field for years to come.
