This is the third edition of the late Sir Godfrey Driver's Schweich
Lectures, first delivered in 1944. The present edition is based on
extensive revisions and additions made by the author himself. The
third edition takes account of research and discoveries in the
fields of Semitic epigraphy and the theory of writing. It deals
with cuneiform scripts, the origins of alphabetic writing, its
development from the earliest records until its transmission to the
Greeks, and covers all the more important North-Semitic
inscriptions. Theories regarding forms of letters, their names,
place in the alphabetical sequence etc. are discussed at length.
