Intorno Ad un'Osca Iscrizione Incisa Nel Cippo Disotterrato a Pompei
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the inscription of an ancient stone monument, discovered in Pompeii and dating back to the pre-Roman period. The text on the stone is beautifully preserved and written in the native language of the region, Oscan. The author undertakes to decipher the text, aided by its parallels in other Italic dialects, as well as the languages of its Indo-European kin, such as Sanskrit, Greek, and Latin. The insights it offers into the history of Pompeii, a Roman city destroyed by a volcanic eruption in the first century, are significant in their presentation of a clear picture of aspects of society, culture, and governance at a time of rapid change in the area. At the time of the inscription, Pompeii was under the control of the Samnites, an Oscan-speaking people. The text reveals that a pair of magistrates, Sizzio and Ponzio, were responsible for the construction of a road. The author's analysis of the inscription also yields rich information about the Oscan language itself, including its vocabulary and grammar. The book is a valuable resource for specialists, but also accessible to anyone interested in the history and languages of ancient Italy. Through meticulous analysis and studied comparisons with related ancient languages, this book casts new light on the fascinating tapestry of pre-Roman Italy. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780282097707_0
