The Story of Writing.
Thames and Hudson, London 1995, liten 4to, orig. bind med omslag, 224 s., engelsk tekst, over 350 illustrasjoner, 50 i farver.
«Andrew Robinson explains the interconnection between sound, symbol and script, and goes on to discuss each of the major writing systems in turn, from cuneiform and Egyptian and Mayan hieroglyphs to alphabets and the scripts of China and Japan today. We learn about ‘proto-writing’, such as Ice Age symbols, tallies and Amerindian pictographs. We also survey the astonishing multiplicity of alphabets — not merely the Greek, Roman, Hebrew, Arabic and Indian scripts, but also the Cherokee ‘alphabet’ and the writing of runes.»
