Very good non-technical but comprehensive introduction to the subject of the origins, development, and extension of alphabetic forms of writing, with an emphasis on Hebrew scripts. From End flap: One of the world's most original discoveries and the result of a long intellectual evolution, the Hebrew alphabet is a fascinating and integral part of the study of civilized mankind. Writing, that supreme achievement of man which makes the very existence of civilization possible, had its birth in the Holy Land.
