'In their 1956 book, "Documents in Mycenaean Greek", Michael Ventris (1922-56) and John Chadwick (1920-98) demonstrated that the previously mysterious script Linear B was, in fact, a syllabic form of written Greek, thereby revolutionizing ancient history and linguistics. In this second edition ... Chadwick examines how the study of the subject has expanded since 1956 and includes some of the material discovered since the initial publication' (rear cover blurb).
