Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Origin and Varieties of the Semitic Alphabet: With Specimens Many of these pictures, which are called hieroglyphics, are mere outline figures. As the number of writers increased, the demand for haste, the lack of skill, the use of papyrus, or waxed or powdered tablets and the pen and stylus, produced out of the hieroglyphs a set of broken and distorted outline forms, which con stituted a new and now arbitrary alphabet. In the time of the Shepherd kings, this kind of writing, which is called hieratic, had lost much of its resemblance to the hieroglyphs out of which it was formed. Such an alphabet was adopted by some Semitic people, and by them imparted to the various tribes of Syria. Of this alphabet, in the first thousand years of its use, we have no specimen, and no one can tell what changes it may have undergone in that period. When this is con sidered, it is remarkable that the likeness of the Semitic alphabet to Egyptian prototypes is very distinct. It was probably not a' copy of any one style or type of the hieratic alphabet, for instance like that of the papyrus Prisse, but was made in part of familiar hier atic forms, and in part of forms in hieratic style containing the main features of several hieroglyphs which represented the same sound. It was thus partly a ser vile imitation, but may have embraced a few new arbitrary elements. But the, descent of the Semitic alphabet from the Egyptian cannot be Correctly traced without taking into account many considerations.

This book was released on 2024-02-29 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A useful work for all interested in the history of the alphabet. Hamilton shows a direct correspondence between the West Semitic alphabet and its proposed Egyptian counterparts. Following an examination of the various Egyptian prototypes, each grapheme of the various "Canaanite" scripts is shown and described in exhaustive detail in terms of feature and stance. Subsequently, each individual unit is augmented with a survey of the development of the names of letters and their vocalization, with the author pointing to acrophony, rhyming, and "clipping" as factors in their nomenclature. Hamilton also provides summary charts of the ancient Egyptian models and West Semitic derivatives.
