For Palestine at the conquest, the most convenient literary source is Winckler's English or German translation of the Tel El Amarna letters, convenient also as having a transliterated text. Knudtzon s text is of course best for experts.

On Boghaz Keuei, Puchstein's Boghaskoi is the authorized account for the architecture and for the contents, Winckler, in the Orient gesellschaft Mitteillungen No. 37, is the brilliant, instructive and suggestive source with many texts quoted. Winckler's Nach Boghaskoi (Alte Orient, 1913 Heft 3) does not add very much, but his Vorderderasian im Zweiten Jahrtausend does give a most suggestive idea of the advanced culture state of Palestine in this period. Hall's Ancient History of the Near East (1913) has nothing directly about libraries but arrays the historical facts which interpret the archaeological material. The contemporaneous Hieroglyphic archives of Knossos are treated by Evans in his Scripta Minoa (1909).
