EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fascinating array of Middle Eastern alphabets from the 19th century. The tables depicted in this illustration, taken from George Crabb's Universal Technological Dictionary (1823), provide an extensive overview of the scripts and alphabets used in various ancient languages such as Hebrew, Samaritan, Phoenician, Syriac, Egyptian hieroglyphics, and even Chinese characters. The four tables on the left side not only display both ancient and modern versions of these scripts but also include the names of each letter along with their phonetic equivalents in the Roman alphabet. This comprehensive selection offers a glimpse into the linguistic diversity that once thrived across the Ancient Near and Middle East. Coins are elegantly arranged at the bottom of this page to further enhance our understanding of these historical writing systems. As we explore this monochrome artwork, it becomes evident that British author George Crabb meticulously compiled this publication to shed light on Oriental studies during his time. With its rich historical significance and intricate details, this print serves as a valuable resource for those interested in language history, linguistics, or Middle Eastern studies. It is truly a testament to human ingenuity and cultural exchange throughout centuries past.
