Download or read book The Undeciphered Signs of Linear B written by Anna P. Judson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-09-24 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades after Michael Ventris deciphered Linear B and showed that its language was Greek, nearly one-sixth of its syllabic signs' sound-values are still unknown. This book offers a new approach to establishing these undeciphered signs' possible values. Analysis of Linear B's structure and usage not only establishes these signs' most likely sound-values – providing the best possible basis for future decipherments – but also sheds light on the writing system as a whole. The undeciphered signs are also used to explore the evidence provided by palaeography for the chronology of the Linear B documents and the activities of the Mycenaean scribes. The conclusions presented in this book therefore deepen our understanding not only of the undeciphered signs but also of the Linear B writing system as a whole, the texts it was used to write, and the insight these documents bring us into the world of the Mycenaean palaces. A colour version of figures 5.1-5.4 of chapter 5 can be found under the 'Resources' tab.

Download or read book The New Documents in Mycenaean Greek Volume 1 Introductory Essays written by John Killen and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2024-02-15 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1952 Michael Ventris deciphered the script found on the Linear B tablets from Crete and the Greek mainland, therefore revealing the earliest known form of Greek. In 1956 he and John Chadwick published Documents in Mycenaean Greek, which gave an account of the decipherment, of the language of the tablets, of the society and economy revealed by the documents and a series of chapters giving texts, translations and commentary of the most important tablets. Though partially updated in 1973, Documents is now very much outdated: there has been a vast accrual of bibliography on the subject since 1973, and discoveries of tablets at new sites. This new survey, written by fourteen of the world's leading experts, will bring the reader fully up-to-date with developments in all aspects of Mycenaean studies, concluding with a new, full glossary of all the most recently discovered words.
Download or read book A Research Guide to the Ancient World written by John M. Weeks and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-11-25 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The archaeological study of the ancient world has become increasingly popular in recent years. A Research Guide to the Ancient World: Print and Electronic Sources, is a partially annotated bibliography. The study of the ancient world is usually, although not exclusively, considered a branch of the humanities, including archaeology, art history, languages, literature, philosophy, and related cultural disciplines which consider the ancient cultures of the Mediterranean world, and adjacent Egypt and southwestern Asia. Chronologically the ancient world would extend from the beginning of the Bronze Age of ancient Greece (ca. 1000 BCE) to the fall of the Western Roman Empire (ca. 500 CE). This book will close the traditional subject gap between the humanities (Classical World; Egyptology) and the social sciences (anthropological archaeology; Near East) in the study of the ancient world. This book is uniquely the only bibliographic resource available for such holistic coverage. The volume consists of 17 chapters and seven appendixes, arranged according to the traditional types of library research materials (bibliographies, dictionaries, atlases, etc.). The appendixes are mostly subject specific, including graduate programs in ancient studies, reports from significant archaeological sites, numismatics, and paleography and writing systems. These extensive author and subject indexes help facilitate ease of use.

Download or read book Aegean Linear Script s written by Ester Salgarella and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-01 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When does a continuum become a divide? This book investigates the genetic relationship between Linear A and Linear B, two Bronze Age scripts attested on Crete and Mainland Greece and understood to have developed one out of the other. By using an interdisciplinary methodology, this research integrates linguistic, epigraphic, palaeographic and archaeological evidence, and places the writing practice in its sociohistorical setting. By challenging traditional views, this work calls into question widespread assumptions and interpretative schemes on the relationship between these two scripts, and opens up new perspectives on the ideology associated with the retention, adaptation and transmission of a script, and how identity was negotiated at a moment of closer societal interaction between Cretans and Greek-speaking Mainlanders in the Late Bronze Age. By delving deeper into the structure and inner workings of these two writing systems, this book will make us rethink the relationship between Linear A and B.

Download or read book Manufacture and Measurement written by Anna Michailidou and published by de Boccard. This book was released on 2001 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Linear B tablets found at palatial sites across Greece and the Aegean islands, and archaeological discoveries of objetcs such as weights, attest to an early form of accounting and/or archiving. This book includes ten essays, plus an introduction by the editor, outlining sources of evidence for the counting measuring and recording of carft/industrial products in the prehistoric Aegean. Contributors look at evidence from the Neolithic period and at the Cretan hieroglyphic script before focusing on evidence from the Mycenaean period, including the recording of metal objects, craftsmen working in the palaces, textile recording and counting, condiments, perfume and dye plants, leather and other animal products. The papers draw heavily on the Linear B archives and less on artefacts.
Download or read book These Words written by Alden Solovy and published by CCAR Press. This book was released on 2023-03-06 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In These Words, liturgist Alden Solovy distills the Torah into its very essence: the individual words it contains. Echoing the midrash that the Torah has seventy faces, Solovy selects seventy of its Hebrew words that are pregnant with meaning. For each word, he delves into the etymology, translation, and usage, providing deeper insights into familiar texts. Then Solovy presents a beautiful poem--what he calls "poetic midrash"--inspired by and interpreting each word. From b'reishit ("in beginning") to shamayim ("heavens") to zachor ("remember"), These Words will change the way you look at the language of the Torah. Published by CCAR Press, a division of the Central Conference of American Rabbis

Download or read book Prayer written by Mark Van Schaack and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2007-07-25 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prayer is an essential part of our Christian life, yet few of us pray on a regular basis or if we do, it is of short duration and ineffective. Most tend to think of prayer as a duty and consider it boring, not believing the answer is coming. But the scriptures are full of promises to answer prayer and empower us for warfare. Jesus is mentioned 21 times as praying in scriptures. Jesus taught and demonstrated to his Disciples how to pray with results. Paul also shares about a New Testament way to pray. Also there are prayers prayed in scriptures that are not fulfilled yet, but are on going, that we can pray also. Learn what hinders your prayers from being answered and exactly what prayer really is. What does it mean to have a heart of Prayer? Did you know you can pray the Word and always get an answer from God? Did you know that we are to be a kingdom of Priests? Get to know the power and authority we have in the name of Jesus. The key to lock and unlock the bounty and resources of Heaven are in that name. Learn the secret of agreement and the power intensified through fasting. The Church has yet to take full advantage of effective prayer. If you are not praying your Christian life is probably going nowhere and the enemy is having a field day with you. Rise up and take your place as a man or woman of God and become what you were meant to be in Christ.
