Sobre este artículo
Cambridge University Press. Very Good in Very Good+ dust jacket. 1991. Hardcover. 0521371570 . Some heavy Foxing/dustsoiling to textblock. Minor shelfwear to DJ. ; Who invented the Greek alphabet 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 reaches the conclusion 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. ; 9.5 x 1 x 6.5 Inches; 306 pages .
