Cretan Pictographs and Prae-Phoenician Script : With an Account of a Sepulchral Deposit at Hagios Onuphrios near Phaestos in its Relation to Primitive Cretan and Aegean Culture

Omtale

Published in 1895, this landmark book, copiously illustrated, describes and documents the discoveries of Arthur Evans (1851–1941) during his first visit to Crete in 1894, when he confirmed the existence of an ancient pictographic form of writing that pre-dated the Phoenician alphabet later used by the Greeks.
