Publisher's Synopsis

Once thought of as a primitive and flawed writing system, cuneiform has recently been given much more respect by scholars. This book traces the development of cuneiform, from the earliest attempts to the sophisticated system of roughly 640 signs that comprised the Sumerian repertory by 3200 BC.
