| 501 | |a Gelb's booklet is devoted in the main to the reading of the phonetic signs, while ideograms are for the most part left on one side. It contains a complete bibliography in continuation of that given in Part I [see SAOC 2] and "General Observations" as to the character of the writing on pp. 1-12, while a short explanation of the values which are attributed to the fifty-seven signs tabulated in the frontispiece is given on pp. 12-36. [From a review by Leonie Zuntz in the Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society (1936) 376-78] | ||
| 501 | |a With the death of Prof. Sayce we lose the greatest of the pioneers of research in Hittite hieroglyphs. It was he who laid the foundation-stone of whatever may be correct in the decipherment of these strange characters, and although it must be allowed us to say that he let his imagination run away with him, it was this very imagination which enabled him to assign what are probably correct values to about a dozen characters, and those dozen characters must be considered a heroic achievement for a pioneer. Doubtless in future days, when the script is an open book, the young Hittitologist will look back with an amused and superior smile at the errors which his great-grandparents made in their blind-bull-like rushes. With the large number of clear inscriptions discovered by the British Museum excavations at Carchemish, research into Hittite hieroglyphs has received a fresh impetus, and there are several new adventurers in the lists. Mr. Gelb is one of them. [From a review by R. Campbell Thompson in the Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society (Oct. 1934) 833-42] | ||
| 501 | |a Hittite Hieroglyphs III is intended to complement Dr. Gelb’s Elements of Hieroglyphic Hittite. Appearing in the latter are many new readings and interpretations that could not be fully substantiated in a volume designed for the general public. The present volume represents the third installment of Dr. Gelb’s work on the decipherment of the Hittite hieroglyphic writing, but in addition it offers the first serious attempt at systematization of the whole syllabary. He believed that the time had come for all scholars working in this field to take a definite stand in relation to the main principles of Hittite hieroglyphic writing and accordingly to revise drastically their readings of individual signs.
