{"product_id":"writing-in-bronze-age-crete-ester-salgarella-9781009520027","title":"Writing in Bronze Age Crete","description":"The Bronze Age Aegean and Cyprus were home to a plethora of scripts, including Cretan Hieroglyphic, Linear A and Linear B, Cypro-Minoan and Cypro-Syllabic. This Element is dedicated to the conventionally named 'Minoan' Linear A script, used on Crete and the Aegean islands during the Middle and Late Bronze Age (ca. 1800-1450 BCE). Linear A is still undeciphered, and the language it encodes ('Minoan') thus remains elusive. Notwithstanding, scholars have been able to extract a good amount of information from Linear A inscriptions and their contexts of use. Current ongoing research, integrating the materiality of script with linguistic analysis, offers a cutting-edge approach with promising results. This Element considers Linear A within an investigative framework as well as narrative, shedding light on a number of burning questions in the field, often the subject of intense academic debate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ester Salgarella\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1009520024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781009520027\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/18\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 84\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.25d","brand":"Ester Salgarella","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47422954864895,"sku":"9781009520027","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c36fef7a-e61e-4213-a42a-b0b347dd7c50.jpg?v=1761528161","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/writing-in-bronze-age-crete-ester-salgarella-9781009520027","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
