Foreword

As its title implies, this bibliography has grown out of the Newsletter for Anatolian Studies, which began publication in 1985. In its current form, however, it has been considerably expanded. The bibliography contains well over five thousand entries, which cover all periods of research into Anatolia from prehistory to the Hellenistic age. Topically, it includes linguistics, philology, archaeology and history. Geographically, it encompasses Anatolia and, less comprehensively, Cyprus, Armenia and northern Syria.

A number of sources were heavily consulted in the compilation of this bibliography. Among them, the Research Archives of the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago, whose Archivist, Charles Jones, has been infinitely helpful. The "Keilschriftbibliographie," published regularly in the journal Orientalia by R. Caplice, Horst Klengel and Karlheinz Deller and the "Indogermanische Chronik" published in Die Sprache by Heiner Eichner were also consulted extensively.

The bibliography strives to be complete. Miscellaneous references from earlier years have made there way into the database, but no systematic effort was made to be complete for those years.

Titles in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Turkish are given as they appear. Titles in Japanese, Russian and other languages using non-Latin scripts have either been transcribed into Latin script or translated into English with a note indicating the language the article or monograph is written in.

Each reference is complete in itself. Cross references are not used. While this may make the bibliography longer than absolutely necessary, the purpose of a bibliography should be to ease the scholar's burden, not add to it. For the same reason, abbreviations are avoided wherever possible. A "Journal Index" provides a complete list of journals found in the bibliography.

Entries are alphabetical by author and then by title (including initial worlds like "a" and "the"). Reviews fall alphabetically according to the journal the review appears in.

Authors names have been codified to allow Pro-Cite 2.01 to properly alphabetize each entry. Whenever possible, full names bave been used. Hence entries in this database do not always reflect how the names appear in the original article or book.
