Paperback. Condition: Gut. XXV, 280 p.: Ill., Maps. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - leicht berieben, sonst guter Zustand / slightly rubbed, otherwise good condition. - What caused the invention of the Greek alphabet? Who did it, and why? The purpose of this challenging book is to inquire systematically into the historical causes that underlay the radical shift from earlier and less efficient writing-systems to the use of alphabetic writing. The author declares his conclusion to be a possibly surprising one - that a single man, perhaps from the island of Euboea, invented the Greek alphabet specifically in order to record the Iliad and the Odyssey of Homer / CONTENTS List of figures List of tables Acknowledgements Abbreviations A note on terms and phonetic transcriptions Chronological charts Maps Foreword: Why was the Greek alphabet invented? 1 Review of criticism : What we know about the origin of the Greek alphabet Phoenician origins Single introduction by a single man The place of adaptation The date of transmission The moment of transmission The names of the signs The sounds of the signs The vowels The problem of the sibilants The problem of the supplementals The adapter s system Summary and conclusions 2 Argument from the history of writing : How writing worked before the Greek alphabet Elements in the art of writing How logo-syllabic writing works: Egyptian hieroglyphic How syllabic writing works: the Cypriote syllabary How syllabic writing works: Phoenician Summary and conclusions 3 Argument from the material remains: Greek inscriptions from the beginning to c. 650 b,c. The lack of semantic devices in early Greek writing I. "Short" Greek inscriptions from the beginning to c. 650 B.C., II. "Long" Greek inscriptions from the beginning to c. 650 B.c. Conclusions 4 Argument from coincidence: Dating Greece s earliest poet I. What dates does archaeology give for objects, practices, and social realities mentioned in Homer? II. Is there anything about the language of the Iliad and the Odyssey that can be dated? III. What are the earliest outside references to Homer? IV. Homer s date in ancient tradition Conclusions: the date of Homer 5 Conclusions from probability: how the Iliad and Odyssey were written down Writing and traditional song in Homer s day Conclusions Appendix I: Gelb s theory of the syllabic nature of West Semitic writing Appendix II: Homeric references in poets of the seventh century Definitions Bibliography Index.
