Fly leaf inscribed and signed by the author to Charles Lévêque dated December 24 1891. Frontispiece. First inscribed and signed edition of Philippe Berger's remarkable history of writing in Antiquity. "Writing is the physical manifestation of a spoken language. It is thought that human beings developed language c. 35000 BCE as evidenced by cave paintings from the period of the Cro-Magnon Man c. 50000-30000 BCE which appear to express concepts concerning daily life. These images suggest a language because in some instances they seem to tell a story say of a hunting expedition in which specific events occurred rather than being simply pictures of animals and people. Written language however does not emerge until its invention in Sumer southern Mesopotamia c. 3500 -3000 BCE. This early writing was called cuneiform and consisted of making specific marks in wet clay with a reed implement. The writing system of the Egyptians was already in use before the rise of the Early Dynastic Period c. 3150 BCE and is thought to have developed from Mesopotamian cuneiform though this theory is disputed and came to be known as hieroglyphics. The phoenetic writing systems of the Greeks "phoenetic" from the Greek phonein - "to speak clearly" and later the Romans came from Phoenicia. The Phoenician writing system though quite different from that of Mesopotamia still owes its development to the Sumerians and their advances in the written word. Independently of the Near East or Europe writing was developed in Mesoamerica by the Maya c. 250 CE with some evidence suggesting a date as early as 500 BCE and also independently by the Chinese." For more information see: "The Origins of Writing" by Ira Spar.
