This pioneering volume approaches the languages and scripts of
ancient Cyprus from an interdisciplinary point of view, with a
primarily linguistic and epigraphic approach supplemented by a
consideration of their historical and cultural context. The focus
is on furthering our knowledge of the non-Greek languages/scripts,
as well as appreciating their place in relation to the much better
understood Greek language on the island. Following on from recent
advances in Cypro-Minoan studies, these difficult, mostly Late
Bronze Age inscriptions are reassessed from first principles. The
same approach is taken for non-Greek languages written in the
Cypriot Syllabic script during the first millennium BC, chiefly the
one usually referred to as Eteocypriot. The final section is then
dedicated to the Phoenician language, which was in use on Cyprus
for some hundreds of years. The result is a careful reappraisal of
these languages/scripts after more than a century of sometimes
controversial scholarship.
