An exceedingly rare offprint of the scholarly report presented by the prominent Soviet linguist and orientalist G. V. Gamkrelidze at the 25th International Congress of Orientalists in 1960. This concise paper addresses a specialized topic in ancient Near Eastern studies: the relationship between Akkadian script in Northern Syria and the origins of Hittite cuneiform. With a minuscule print run of only 350 copies, this booklet is a significant primary source for the history of Soviet oriental scholarship during the Cold War era.
