Sinopsis
Excerpt from Assyrian Language: Easy Lessons in the Cuneiform Inscriptions
The last two chapters contain a series of short extracts from historical documents together with trans literations and translations and a glossary; every verb is parsed in the footnotes to the texts and every form explained which might prove puzzling to the beginner. The chief object throughout has been to make the reader familiar with the most common signs and words and grammatical forms, so that, after reading through the extracts from texts here given, he will be in a position to attack the longer and more varied inscriptions in my First Steps in Assyrian.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating journey into the world of cuneiform writing, a system used by the Babylonians and Assyrians for over four thousand years. It reveals how these ancient civilizations developed this unique form of writing, tracing its evolution from early picture-signs to the complex wedge-shaped characters that are now instantly recognizable. The author explores the key events in the decipherment of these inscriptions, starting with the accounts of early European travellers who first encountered the mysterious writings at Persepolis and Behistun. The book delves into the process by which scholars like Grotefend and Rawlinson painstakingly unravelled the secrets of cuneiform, using a combination of linguistic analysis and historical deduction. Through these detailed explanations, readers gain a profound appreciation for the ingenuity and persistence required to unlock the mysteries of ancient languages. The book's insights provide a window into a world long lost and offer a testament to the enduring legacy of these ancient cultures. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
