Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Decades after Michael Ventris deciphered Linear B and showed that its language was Greek, nearly one-sixth of its syllabic signs' sound-values are still unknown. This book offers a new approach to establishing these undeciphered signs' possible values. Analysis of Linear B's structure and usage not only establishes these signs' most likely sound-values providing the best possible basis for future decipherments but also sheds light on the writing system as a whole. The undeciphered signs are also used to explore the evidence provided by palaeography for the chronology of the Linear B documents and the activities of the Mycenaean scribes. The conclusions presented in this book therefore deepen our understanding not only of the undeciphered signs but also of the Linear B writing system as a whole, the texts it was used to write, and the insight these documents bring us into the world of the Mycenaean palaces. A colour version of figures 5.1-5.4 of chapter 5 can be found under the 'Resources' tab. Provides valuable insights into the development and use of the Linear B writing system and important methodological advances in investigating the Linear B texts' chronology and the activities of their writers. Of value to classicists, Mycenaean Greek archaeologists, and linguists working on writing systems. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
