Softcover. Zustand: Very Good. An excellent copy in great condition. Cover shows faint signs of use, but is unmarked and undamaged. All pages clean, crisp and fresh. Publisher's note: Examines the writing systems of the ancient Aegan and Cyprus in the second and first millennia B.C., principally Cretan hieroglyphic, Linear A, Linear B and Cypro-Minoan. These scripts, of which some are deciphered and others are not, are known to be related to each other. However, the details of their relationships with each other have remained poorly understood and this is the first volume dedicated solely to exploring this issue. Nine expert contributors aim to reach a better appreciation of relationships between the writing systems than has been possible in previous research, through an interdisciplinary dialogue that takes account both of features of the writing systems and of the contextaul factors affecting the ways in whcih writing systems and of the contectual factors affecting the ways in which writing was used and passed on. Each individual contribution furthers this aim by presenting the latest research on the Aegean scripts, demonstrating the great advances in our understanding of sscript relations that are possible through such detailed and innovative studies - cover Size: 17 x 23.9 x 1.3 cm. xv, 221 pp. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - From its first adoption of writing at the beginning of the Late Bronze Age, ancient Cyprus was home to distinctive scripts and writing habits, often setting it apart from other areas of the Mediterranean and Near East. This well-illustrated volume is the first to explore the development and importance of Cypriot writing over a period of more than 1,500 years in the second and first millennia BC. Five themed chapters deal with issues ranging from the acquisition of literacy and the adaptation of new writing systems to the visibility of writing and its role in the marking of identities. The agency of Cypriots in shaping the island's literate landscape is given prominence, and an extended consideration of the social context of writing leads to new insights on Cypriot scripts and their users. Cyprus provides a stimulating case to demonstrate the importance of contextualised approaches to the development of writing systems.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This volume offers a new and interdisciplinary treatment of syllabic writing in ancient Cyprus. A team of distinguished scholars tackles epigraphic, palaeographic, linguistic, archaeological, historical and terminological problems relating to the island's writing systems in the Late Bronze Age and Iron Age, from the appearance of writing around the fifteenth century down to the end of the first millennium BC. The result is not intended to be a single, unified view of the scripts and their context, but rather a varied collection that demonstrates a range of interpretations of the evidence and challenges some of the longstanding or traditional views of the population of ancient Cyprus and its epigraphic habits. This is the first comprehensive account of the 'Cypro-Minoan' and 'Cypriot syllabic' scripts to appear in a single volume and forms an invaluable resource for anyone studying Cypriot epigraphy or archaeology.…
