Linear A & The Decipherment of Minoan Language

Linear A & The Decipherment of Minoan Language by Lee Buchwalder, published by Branch Publishing LLC in 2020.

The language of the Minoan people has remained an enigma for more than a century since their ancient civilization was discovered. The script that records it, known as Linear A, has long been thought to use the same sounds and symbols as its successor-Linear B. After Linear B was deciphered in 1952 by Michael Ventris, and was found to represent an archaic form of Greek, the language of the earlier Linear A script continued to defy all those attempting to read it. A recent insight regarding synonym-parallels in ancient Minoan texts has now illuminated their meaning for the first time.

A lovely addition to your coffee table or bookshelf, and a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves history.
