O ovoj e-knjizi

Origins of Writing explores the fascinating journey of written communication, from its early roots to the widespread use of alphabets. It delves into how humans transitioned from spoken language to lasting inscriptions, forever changing knowledge preservation and transmission. The book highlights that socio-economic needs drove the initial development of writing. For example, the earliest forms of cuneiform in Mesopotamia emerged to manage complex administrative tasks. This book uniquely emphasizes the human element, exploring how writing shaped societies, not just the technical aspects.

The book begins by examining pre-writing methods of communication. It then explores the emergence of cuneiform in Mesopotamia, followed by Egyptian hieroglyphics and their cultural significance. The evolution of the Phoenician alphabet and its impact on the Greeks and Romans is also analyzed. Finally, the book discusses the long-term consequences of writing on law, literature, and science, illustrating how writing democratized knowledge and reshaped civilization.
