The Study of Greek Inscriptions - Second Edition

The Study of Greek Inscriptions first discusses the general significance of epigraphy today, and the methods whereby the results of epigraphical research are presented to the public; then the formal problems of inscriptions - alphabet, engraving, and types of documents; then problems of dating, restoration, copies and facsimiles. Finally come some comments on the aesthetic character of inscriptions, a survey of epigraphical publications, a collection of miscellaneous information about the ancient numbering system, calendar and other matters. All this is illustrated by simple, well chosen texts and photographs.
