Giovanni Pettinato Books

Giovanni Pettinato was a distinguished paleographer of the ancient Near East, whose work focused on cuneiform scripts and languages, particularly the Eblaite language. His most significant contribution was the decipherment of the Eblaite script, which unlocked a deeper understanding of this crucial ancient civilization. Pettinato dedicated his career to the study and teaching of Assyriology, leaving an indelible mark on the field. His publications continue to illuminate the mysteries of Sumerian and Mesopotamian cultures, and his legacy endures through ongoing research in this domain.
