Scholarly discussion of Hittite ritual texts in recent years has centered around scribal context and textual transmission. Using the method already demonstrated by Paul Delnero for Sumerian literary texts, the authors show that certain Hittite rituals were memorized, and that the variations among some exemplars resulted from errors in memory. The influence of conscious redaction on these texts must therefore be reassessed, and the questions of textual purpose, authorship, and context cast into new light.

背诵与赫梯仪式：关于赫梯仪式文本传播的新视角

近年来，赫梯仪式文本的学术讨论主要围绕抄写语境和文本传播。作者使用保罗·德尔纳罗（Paul Delnero）已经证明的苏美尔文学作品中的方法，作者表明记住了某些赫梯仪式，并且某些样例之间的差异是由于记忆错误造成的。因此，必须重新评估有意识的删节对这些文本的影响，并且文本目的，作者身份和语境等问题也焕发出新的光彩。
