Corpus of Mycenaean Inscriptions from Knossos: Volume 1, 1-1063

Description

This is the definitive publication, by the world's major Iycenaean epigraphists, of the Linear B tablets found by Sir Arthur Evans at Knossos. It includes all the fragments discarded by Evans and subsequently recovered from the museum storerooms and elsewhere, and represents the results of thirty years' work on reconstituting the documents. Each tablet or fragment is given as a photograph, a drawing and in transcription. The notes are purely textual.

"While it is always a pleasure to study the actual tablets in the Greek Museums, CMIK is the next best thing. The interplay between the graphics and the transliteration, and the spaciousness of their layout on the page, convey the joy that comes from reading Greek in its earliest form...it is a labor of love and a good, satisfying book."
