This highly educational and engaging volume gorgeously depicts the progression and invention of the modern alphabet, with full-page colorful illustrations, historical linguistic data, and paleographical information. Focusing on history and development of the Roman alphabet, this book traces the roots of ancient Canaanite languages to their beginnings in Egypt in about the second millennium BCE, before the early symbols evolved through time into separate alphabet systems, prominently the Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic and Arabic alphabets. This excellent publication explores the origins of these ancient alphabets and fabulously portrays the rich history and informative material in a beautiful and entertaining manner that will be attractive for children and adults alike! A wonderful instrument of knowledge, give someone you love a brilliant work of literally art with this fantastic volume from Carta!
