Summary
"Africa is still considered by many to be a continent without writing, even though a number of written cultures have existed since as early as the ancient period. This volume provides a comprehensive presentation of the writing systems that were in use in ancient north (east) Africa. It focuses on the question of how these writing systems each developed and influenced one another." --
