Hittites, who founded one of the biggest civilizations ever seen throughout the history, ruled for a long time in Anatolia, in the geography that we live. They left many traces in the history with their high progress in civilization and hence they have been an object of scientific investigation for many reasons. The reigning period of Telipinu, known as the last king of the Old Hittite Period, changed the course of history and therefore is one of the most important issues to focus. He enlightens his period and the previous one with the edict that he composed. Telipinu Edict is accepted as the resource conveying the best information on the Old Hittite Kingdom. However, the Telipinu period is not made up of this mere document. There are present other documents too, informing us on the Telipinu period.
