Abstract

The tablets introduced in this study are fragments brought to the Ankara Anatolian Civilizations Museum from Berlin to Türkiye in 1987. These Hittite tablet fragments contain dream-oath content, and we provide the transliteration and translation of the Bo 7832 and Bo 7863 fragments. Moreover, we interpret these tablets philologically and determine their place in the series. Over a hundred texts providing information on dreams or containing dream reports have been identified in the Hittite cuneiform archives. We believe that the two unpublished fragments examined in this study will contribute to the existing literature on dreams.
