It is a generally accepted presumption that during the Late Bronze Age the language accepted for the 'international' or 'diplomatic' written communication between the representatives or members of the particular polities within the Ancient Near East was Akkadian, or more accurately Peripheral Akkadian. Thus it is the aim of this publication to analyse the corpus of Amarna letters on the subject of diplomatic terminology and procedures.
Jana Mynarova is a researcher at the Czech Institute of Egyptology, Charles University (Prague), where she specialises in the Peripheral Akkadian, ancient diplomacy, interrelations between Egypt and the Near East in the second millennium B.C. as well as the history and archaeology of the New Kingdom.
