Excerpt from The Lycian Inscriptions After the Accurate Copies of the Late Augustus Schoenborn: With a Critical Commentary and an Essay on the Alphabet and Language of the Lycians
But in the beginning of our task already we found, that it was impossible to decipher even the Alphabet without new and accurate copies, for besides such passages, as give offence to a sound criticism, the highly important bilingual inscription of Antiphellus 3 shows, that the copies of Fellows have no claims to accuracy, and it was only the copy of L. Ross, that gave the text of this monument in a reliable form. Nevertheless the 27 inscriptions collected by Fellows offered the most valuable materials, which have served till now as a basis for the decipherer, for also the 36 texts published by Daniel], Spratt and Forbes, the greater part of which were unknown till then, do not show that accuracy, which the decipherer and the philologist has a right to demand, as will be seen in our critical commentary.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating and enigmatic world of the Lycian language, a lost tongue spoken in ancient Lycia, a region in southwest Anatolia (modern-day Turkey). The author, driven by an interest in the connections between Greek dialects, sets out to explore the origins and relationships of the Lycian language, comparing it with other ancient languages such as Greek, Phrygian, and even Iranian languages like Zend. The book meticulously analyzes the Lycian alphabet and its origins, proposing a new interpretation of the values of its letters, and demonstrating how Lycian adopted elements from the Greek and Phoenician alphabets. Further, the book explores the structure of the Lycian language, particularly its declension system, arguing for its connection to the Indo-European language family, specifically its close relationship with the Arian branch, and highlighting its position as a link between Greek and Iranian languages. The author examines the forms of Lycian nouns and their variations, comparing them to similar structures in other languages to establish the language's unique features and place within the greater linguistic landscape. This meticulous exploration of the Lycian language provides a rich and detailed insight into the linguistic and cultural history of a civilization that has long been lost to the sands of time. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
