No Jacket. ### Linear B and Related Scripts - Reading the Past - 1995 ### ~#~ Linear B and related scripts: Long before Homer a script was in use in Greece which is quite unrelated to the alphabet. The kings of Mycenaean Greece kept their accounts on clay tablets written in a script now known as Minoan Linear B. In 1952 this was deciphered and shown to conceal an early form of the Greek language. This book tells the story of how Linear B was discovered, deciphered, and interpreted, so that we can now read the administrative documents of these small prehistoric states. Two related scripts are also discussed: Linear A, the forerunner of Linear B, but used for a language which is still unknown, and a Cypriot script which, borrowed from Linear A, is equally enigmatic. Many interpretations have been put forward for these scripts but until more tablets are discovered their mystery will remain unsolved. ~#~ THIS BOOK: A New book, with plenty of drawings and symbols to keep you interested. Nice clean book full of interesting data. #### INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note.
