London: The Society of Antiquaries, 1961. — xii + 33 p. 3 tables. 62 plates + '9 of vocabulary. It is enough to say that only those who saw them can really appreciate Brice's achievement. He has included photographs where before there were none. These are new and excellent of the tablets, though not always of the other inscriptions. He has adopted Carratelli's L numeration...
Gondolat könyvkiadó, 1980. — 119 o. A mükénéi agyagtáblákat, a lineáris B feliratokat ötven éve egy angol építész, Michael Ventris bírta szóra. Ifjúkorától szenvedélyesen érdeklődött megfejtetlen írások és nehezen érthető nyelvek iránt, mint amilyenek a 20. század első éveiben a krétai Knósszosz palotájából kerültek elő. Knósszoszt Arthur Evans ásta ki. A lineáris B megfejtését...
Cambridge University Press, 1958. — 180 p. The decipherment of Linear B was described by Michael Ventris in the first two chapters of our joint book, Documents in Mycenaean Greek (Cambridge University Press, 1956). This is an attempt to present that story to the general reader, so it omits many of the technical details to be found there; on the other hand, the vital steps in...
Fabrizio Serra Editore, 2016. — 278 p. — (Biblioteca di «Pasiphae» XII). Da quando Sir Arthur Evans pubblicò, poco più di un secolo fa, le prime osservazioni sui documenti in geroglifico cretese, la discussione relativa alla questione se i sigilli incisi con questo sistema fossero portatori di iscrizioni provviste di un'univoca e normativa esecuzione linguistica o, piuttosto,...
Studi Micenei ed Egeo-Anatolici. — 1998. — Vol. 40.2. — p. 205-217. — ISSN: 1126-6651. Le ragioni della definizione negativa contenuta nel titolo, in luogo di quella spesso impiegata in lavori recenti e meno recenti sul tema (“epigrafi sacrali”, “votive” o simili), risiedono sia nell'accrescimento della documentazione registratosi dopo la pubblicazione del Recueil di Godart e...
Kadmos. — 2013. — Vol. 52.1. — p. 35-52. — ISSN: 0022-7498. A number of Minoan ritual vessels are inscribed with the so-called ‘libation formula’, a standard set of Linear A (LA) sequences,1 some of which vary from vessel to vessel. This article contains a comparative investigation into the order of elements in the ‘libation formula’ in an effort to uncover something about...
Studi Micenei ed Egeo-Anatolici. — 1968. — № 6. — p. 90-110. Evans had discovered in Crete three kinds of writing of the Bronze Age (2nd Millennium B.C.). These are in order of development: (i) the Minoan Pictographic (Hieroglyphic), (ii) the Minoan Linear A, a simplified form of the Pictographic script, written cursively, in which the pictures had become signs formed of lines...
Witwatersrand University Press, 1967. — xxxii + 342p. The method adopted in this work is as follows: the three types of syllabic script found on Cretan soil are compared; next, preliminary indications as to the language of the Linear A script, and the writing conventions of Linear A, as deduced from the information already gathered, are discussed.
Minos. — 1983. — No 18. — p. 33–68. Il est tentant, mais il n'est pas facile, de comparer la langue du linéaire A et celle du disque de Phaestos. Ce qui y encourage, c'est l'évidente connexion locale et temporelle qui unit ces deux témoins de la situation linguistique de la Crète minoenne: le disque a été trouvé à quelques centimètres d'une tablette en linéaire A. Points de...
Minos. — 2002—2003. — Vol. 37-38. — p. 89-94. Many attempts have been made to 'identify' the Minoan language of the Linear A documents, that is to connect it to other (better known) languages or linguistic families.
Kadmos. — 2001. — Bd. 40. — S. 1-38. La recente pubblicazione di Testi minoici trascritti (TMT) costituisce un nuovo importante contributo per lo studio della lineare A. Anzitutto, anche prescindendo da qualsiasi valutazione sulla leggibilitä dei segni A, il lavoro in questione si presenta senza dubbio come uno strumento pratico e maneggevole per chi si occupa della materia e...
Minos. Revista de filología egea — 1990 — Vol. 25 — p. 43-86 — ISSN: 0544-3733. Although none of the extant hypotheses concerning the language of Linear A has won general acceptance, it cannot be denied that the decades that have followed the decipherment of Linear B have brought about considerable progress in the field. The scholars who approached the Minoan script with the...

University of Adelaide, 1996. — 480 p. Ventris's decipherment of Linear B in 1952 raised hopes among both archaeologists and linguists alike that the earlier Linear A script would itself also soon be deciphered. Fundamental here, of course, was the observation that both scripts shared almost identical sign repertoires and that is was therefore a simple matter of "transferring'...
Antiquity. — 1957. — Vol. 31, Iss. 124. — p. 237-240. In the September number of ANTIQUITY (no. 123, pp. 124–130), I suggested that the language of Linear A was Semitic. I leaned toward narrowing down the probabilities to West Semitic, but indicated the possibility of East Semitic (= Akkadian or Assyro-Babylonian) too. The clue to the identification of the language proved to be...
Ventnor Publishers, 1966. — 68 p. This monograph aims at providing qualified scholars with all the evidence they need for understanding the Northwest Semitic character of Minoan. One of several valid ways of summarizing the thesis is as follows: (1) the decipherment of Mycenaean makes it possible to pronounce most of the Minoan syllabary (114); (2) virtual bilinguals provide...
Antiquity. — 1957. — Vol. 31, Iss. 123. — p. 124-130. The decipherment of Linear B as Mycenaean Greek by the late Michael Ventris provides a means of reading some of the earlier non-Greek inscriptions of Crete and the Aegean. This is so because many of the signs in the Linear B syllabary have been taken over from the earlier Linear A, presumably with similar phonetic values. Out...

University of Cambridge, May 22 – 24, 2017. — Cambridge, 2017. — p. 65-73. The object of this paper is the deciphering of Cretan Linear A (LA) inscriptions spread mainly across the Aegean area. First, the paper presents a brief background of...
Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas, 1956. — 43 p. — (Theses et studia philologica Salmanticensia 9). L’ormai famoso deciframento della lineare B dato dal Ventris apre naturalmente un’ampia via d’accesso anche alla A, perchè si sa che le due scritture han molti segni in comune.
University College London (University of London), 1993. — 203 p. This study aims to construct a coherent framework within which the scripts of Late Minoan Crete can be related to each other. This is achieved by a combination of archaeological, epigraphical and philological evidence. If the scripts of Late Minoan Crete can be studied diachronically and related to each other,...
The Journal of Indo-European Studies. — 1999. — Vol. 27.1-2. — p. 15-55. — ISSN: 0092-2323. Linear B was deciphered by Michael Ventris on 1st June 1952 as recording Mycenean Greek. In the 1950’s and 1960’s the attention of many scholars naturally turned to the earlier script of Linear A and the Minoan Language and the possibility that it might be Indo-European. Two of the first...
University of California Press, 1974. — 272 p. — ISBN: 0-520-02580-6. This book does not set out to identify the language of Linear A. Those in search of comprehensive “decipherments” have at least four recent attempts from which to choose, according to whether they prefer to have the Minoans speaking Greek, Hittite, Indic, or North-West Semitic. What languages were used in...
Minos. — 1958. — No 6. — p. 16-23. In a recent article Dr. C. H. Gordon claims to have read some Semitic words on the Linear A tablets. Unfortunately two of his word recognitions are vitiated by starting from a wrong reading of the Linear A text, while others fail to match meaning with context. Nor does he attempt to identify any grammatical characteristics of the language....
Antiquity. — 1958. — Vol. 32, Iss. 126. — p. 97-99. When ANTIQUITY published in September, 1957, an article by Dr Cyrus Gordon entitled ‘Notes on Minoan Linear A’, the late Editor, Dr O. G. S. Crawford, hailed it as a major discovery—and so it was, if correct. In his second article (ANTIQUITY XXXI, 1957, 237) Dr Gordon assumed that the language of the Linear A documents is...

La cosiddetta formula di libagione minoica, nota anche come formula di Arkhanes, rappresenta la migliore possibilità oggi a disposizione degli studiosi per indagare i misteri della lingua cretese ; essa, contrariamente a quanto avviene per i testi...
Cambridge University Press, 1959. — 494 p. In their 1953 book, Documents in Mycenaean Greek, Michael Ventris (1922-56) and John Chadwick (1920-98) demonstrated that the previously mysterious script Linear B was, in fact, a syllabic form of written Greek, thereby revolutionizing ancient history and linguistics.
