Description
Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. For these reasons the First Part of the present volume has been devoted to a summary view of all the successive types of Minoan script, including the primitive pictographic, the hieroglyphic, and the advanced linear classes. Their genesis is traced from a widespread European family of immemorial antiquity, and the place occupied by them among other early forms of writing traceable throughout the Mediterranean basin is as far as possible defined.
