Part One places the development of the Linear B script against its historical background; the earlier varieties of Aegean writing are discusses, and Ventris'' decipherment of Linear B is described and the Mycenaean dialect of Greek is examined. In Part two, the reader is taken through a number of important Linear B texts. These are presented first in a ''normalised'' transcription of the Linear B characters, so as to induce familiarity with the lay-out of the original texts, secondly in transliteration, and thirdly in translation where this is possible.
