Full Description
Linear B is the earliest form of writing used for Greek. The tablets
written in this script offer crucial information about the Mycenaean
Greeks and their time. This Companion aims at not only summarizing
the results of current research but also trying to explain the problems
which arise from the study of the texts and the methods which can be used
to solve them. It is aimed both at the beginner who needs an introduction
to this area and to advanced scholars (archaeologists, historians,
classicists) who require an up-to-date account which can serve as a
standard reference tool and highlight the remaining problems.
