Abstract

In conjunction with my work at the Akademie der Wissenschaften und der Literatur, Mainz, I have been able to find a number of joins and duplicates among the fragments of the Boğazköy archive, and rather than simply allowing them to rest in the card catalogue until being published in a KBo volume or perhaps to go unnoticed within S. Košak's Konkordanz (www.hethiter.net), it seemed fitting to publish them here. This continues in a sense a tradition begun in the pages of the Zeitschrift für Assyriologie by H. Otten and his long-time assistant Ch. Rüster, who published a series of articles entitled ‘Textanschlüsse und Duplikate von Boğazköy-Tafeln’ between 1972 and 1982. I wish to thank Theo van den Hout for his careful reading of this article and for a number of helpful comments and suggestions.
