This book offers a light-hearted and fascinating voyage back to the origins of our alphabet, based on the pictograms of 3500 years ago. Bestselling author and teacher Marc-Alain Ouaknin has created a book for many readers --- for teenagers and adults, scholars and the merely curious. In Mysteries of the Alphabet he tells how proto-Sinaitic pictograms-derived from Egyptian hieroglyphics and discovered in the Sinai only at the beginning of the twentieth century-evolved through the millennia and left their traces on our alphabet. Ouaknin coins the term archaeography to describe his study of a word's meaning not only through its etymology but also through its image, through the forms of its letters. His interest is not only serious: he suggests that his readers play the game of reading their own names and other words in pictograms --- after all, the name you're given influences who you turn out to be. Contents: Introduction. Part Origin and Development ---- Short History of Writing, Pictogram Ideogram and Phonogram, The Lady of the Turquoise Proto-Sinaitic Script, the Example of the Letter Aleph, and When Aleph Became Alpha. Part Two: The Alphabet. Part Three: The Archeographic Revolution. Plus Bibliography and Acknowledgements and Picture Credits.…
