An accessible survey written by fourteen of the world's leading experts of work in recent years on the Linear B tablets, deciphered by Michael Ventris in 1952, revealing both the earliest form of Greek and much of the society and economy of its time.
"In 1952 Michael Ventris deciphered the script found on the Linear B tablets from Crete and the Greek mainland, thereby revealing the earliest known form of Greek. In 1956 he and John Chadwick published Documents in Mycenaean Greek, which gave an accountof the decipherment, of the language of the tablets, of the society and economy revealed by the documents and a series of chapters giving texts, translations and commentary of the most important tablets. Though partially updated in 1973, Documents is nowvery much outdated: there has been a vast accrual of bibliography on the subject since 1973, and discoveries of tablets at new sites. This new survey, written by fourteen of the world''s leading experts, will bring the reader fully up to date with developments in all aspects of Mycenaean studies, concluding with a new glossary of all the more complete Mycenaean words"--
