Pressestimmen
'In this present short book - lucid, concise and admirable - Chadwick tells us something of Ventris and his mind, and of the problems involved in the decipherment of Minoan-Mycenaean scripts. It is written for the layman and very well written. It is not only an account of a startling piece of philological and archaeological research, but a simple, moving human story.' The Spectator
Über das Produkt
The languages of the ancient world and the mysterious scripts, long undeciphered, in which they were encoded have represented one of the most intriguing problems of classical archaeology in modern times.

Einleitungssatz
The urge to discover secrets is deeply ingrained in human nature; even the least curious mind is roused by the promise of sharing knowledge withheld from others. Lesen Sie die erste Seite

This book is one which has an extremely interesting description of the methods used in and the results of deciphering clay tablets which contained what was finally determined to be ancient Greek. I have gone back to reread large parts of it several times, because it is concisely packed with so much information about the development of the Greek language. It contains facts which tell much about Greek history. Did you ever wonder why, compared with other ancient cultures, there are very few Greek Linear B tablets from which to glean information? This scarcity of source material is one of the reasons that Linear B was so hard to translate. This book has the simple but very significant answer, along with glimpses into other cultural traits of the times. It is not a thick book, but what John Chadwick has written speaks volumes. Well worth reading for someone interested in the Greek language and culture.

An absolute must read for people who want to see the fascinating process by which ancient scripts are deciphered. Also points out that to begin to understand the classical world, one must begin with the bronze age. I only wish someone would do a reprint of this book with actual linear B characters in the text itself, rather than numbers

Michael Ventris was a young British architect who, during Word War II, serviced in the RAF Intelligence Office, deciphering German encripted dispatches. Defeated the nazis, he started his very own personal "war" against a new "enemy". The "encripted dispatches" were now the incribed clay tablets of the Mycenean civilization, in "prehistoric" Greece. After a few years, Ventris eventually announced to the word that he "cracked" the ancient Linear B script contained in the Mycenean tablets: they were accounting records, and the language contained in them was an archaic form of Greek!
John Chadwick was the first scholar who believed in this discover and, with his help, Ventris won the skepticism and prejudice of the academic world.
Thanks to Ventris' decipherment, the beginnig of European written "history" has now moved backwards by nearly one millennium!
