Book Description
Old Persian, recorded in cuneiform inscriptions from the first millennium BCE, remained undeciphered until the nineteenth century. Christian Lassen (1800-76) and Julius Oppert (1825-1905) both contributed to solving the puzzle, and these publications, from 1836 and 1847, reveal their painstaking work and their excitement at the results.
