Hittite Personal Names

 Hittite Personal Names

From the homepage:

Hittite Personal Names is a database on the PNs attested in the Hittite written sources (cuneiform texts, seals, and hieroglyphic inscriptions). It is based on the available publications and repertoires (including M.-C. Trémouille’s Répertoire Onomastique at HPM), expanded and integrated by a non-systematic review of the secondary literature as well as by original research. Valuable data sets have been provided by Marco Marizza (cuneiform texts, Boğazköy seal impressions) and Max Gander (PNs from Ortaköy/Šapinuwa). Corrections and feedback of any kind are welcome and gratefully acknowledged.

The database consists of a repertoire of attestations and a general PNs list which is integrated in the search tool Hittite Name Finder.

Spellings are provided in exceptional cases only. The normalization of PNs spelled with hetherographic elements is still non-systematic in the present version.

 This is wonderful addition to open-access resources. All are freely downloadable; but as far as I can see, you have to download individual chapters.

 Lamb - 2016 - PhD Dissertation

Lamb, Gregory E. "Literary Survey of the Second Temple Period (Including an Introduction to Greco-Roman Literature)." PhD, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, 2016.

If you're looking for discussion of the texts of this period, you'll be disappointed. It's 234 pages of timelines, texts, bibliography, etc. However, having a comprehensive list like this is a very valuable inventory of the literature of the period, and it's searchable.
