USDThe Corpus of Mycenaean Inscriptions from Knossos, to be completed in three or four volumes, constitutes the definitive publication by the world's major Mycenaean epigraphists of the Linear B tablets found by Sir Arthur Evans at Knossos in Crete. It includes all the fragments discarded by Evans and subsequently recovered from the Museums storerooms and elsewhere and represents the result of 30 years' work on reconstituting the documents. Each tablet or fragment is given as a photograph, drawing, and in transcription. The notes are purely textual. Volume I contains tablets 1-1063.
Reviews & endorsements
"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."
