Grey's box -- An opportune encounter -- The "true key" to Egyptian hieroglyphs -- The semantic trap avoided -- The reception of the Pre?cis -- "Hold your laughter, friends!" ; "In 1799, a French officer was clearing debris from a military installation when he discovered a stele bearing three scripts: ancient Greek, hieroglyphic, and a third that could not be definitively identified. This artifact, which came to be known as the Rosetta Stone, has traditionally played the starring role in the history of decipherment, which has until now been understood as an instance of code-breaking, a kind of Bletchley Park avant la lettre. In The Riddle of the Rosetta, Buchwald and Josefowicz delve into a wide array of British and French sources as well as archival material to produce a comprehensive new history of the decipherment. More than a puzzle-solving exercise based on a single artifact, the decipherment engaged with the era's social, cultural and intellectual contexts. It grew in the midst of heated disputes about language, historical evidence, the status of the Bible, the nature of polytheism, and the importance of classical learning. Jean-Franc?ois Champollion in France and his British rival, the medical doctor and polymath Thomas Young, approached the decipherment from different standpoints derived from their contrasting temperaments, educational experiences, and attitudes to antiquity. Imbued with reverence for Greek culture and raised a Quaker, Young disdained Egyptian culture and saw Egyptian writing principally as a way to uncover new knowledge about Greco-Roman antiquity. To him, the decipherment was akin to a challenge posed by a problem in mathematics or science. Champollion's altogether different motivations and attitude unfolded amidst the political chaos of Restoration France, in fierce response to the intrigues of opposing scholars aligned with throne and altar. Unlike Young, Champollion admired ancient Egypt, and this sympathy, coupled with his willingness to upend conventional wisdom about the enigmatic Egyptian signs, freed him to travel a path down which Young refused to go. A remarkable intellectual adventure reaching from the filthy back streets of Georgian London to the hushed lecture rooms of the Institut de France, from the forgotten byways of provincial France to the splendor of the Valley of the Kings, this book reveals the decipherment in its full historical complexity" ; FINE/FINE.

Condition: Good. Tls. 27 x 19cm."The Gay Life", with lyrics by Howard Dietz and music by Arthur Schwartz, opened on the night of November 18, 1961, at the Shubert Theatre in New York City. The production starred Barbara Cook, Walter Chiari, and Jules Munshin. It ran for 113 performances. The show's costume designer, Lucinda Ballard (who was also Dietz's third wife), was the only person associated with the show to receive a Tony Award.Howard Dietz was a lyricist and illustrator, famous for his long-standing partnership with composer Arthur Schwartz. Alan Jay Lerner was a highly successful lyricist and librettist who is best known for his partnership with composer Frederick Loewe, with whom he created numerous classic Broadway musicals like My Fair Lady and Brigadoon. Although Dietz and Lerner are distinct figures, they are both iconic figures in the history of the American musical theater. .Provenance: Estate of Alan Jay Lerner, (1918-1986):.In 1962, Russel Crouse had a play, the musical Mr. President, premiere on Broadway. He wrote the book for this musical with Howard Lindsay, and it featured music and lyrics by Irving Berlin. Mr. President opened on October 20, 1962, and starred Robert Ryan and Nanette Fabray.Alan Jay Lerner is celebrated for his enduring and engaging contributions to musical theater, including 'My Fair Lady', 'Camelot', and 'Paint Your Wagon', among many others. His work is remembered for its distinctive blend of emotional depth and charm, which led to the creation of some of the most significant works in musical theater for both stage and screen.Over the course of four decades, Lerner rubbed shoulders with some of the world's most iconic figures, many of whom became confidants and pen pals.
