Gebraucht, aber gut erhalten. - Inhalt: The Oral and the Written Word: A Reappraisal -- Spoken Sound and Inscribed Sign -- The Pre-Greek Syllabaries -- The Greek Alphabet -- Transcription of the Code of a Non-Literate Culture -- The Character and Content of the Code -- The Ancient Art of Oral Poetry -- The Alphabetization of Homer -- The Preliteracy of the Greeks -- Thoughtful Hesiod -- Preliteracy and the Presocratics -- The Oral Composition of Greek Drama -- Aftermath of the Alphabet. - THIS VOLUME brings together studies by a distinguished classical scholar that address specific problems associated with the development of literacy in ancient Greece. The articles were written over a twenty-year period and published individually in various journals and books. They deal with Greece's technological and intellectual transition from a preliterate to a literate culture, showing the effects registered by the introduction of the alphabet as the written word came to replace its oral counterpart in the literature of Greece and of Europe.
