Description
Linear B An Introduction by J.T. Hooker provides a comprehensive introduction to the dead language of Linear B, one of the earliest written languages used by people who spoke "proto-Greek". This book is suitable for students with some knowledge of Greek who wish to access Linear B material. The book explores the development of the Linear B script against its historical background, discussing earlier varieties of Aegean writing and Ventris' decipherment of Linear B. It then presents a number of important Linear B texts in normalised transcription, transliteration, and translation where possible. By examining these texts, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the Mycenaean dialect of Greek and its significance in the history of language.
