I do wonder where they got a lot of these alphabets from. To take one example I’m familiar with, of the eleven alphabets labelled ‘Hebrew’, only 7, 8 and 10 resemble anything I would call Hebrew; 11 is a weird romanisation, while the rest look like nothing else I’m aware of.
- jeltz 3y agoThe book itself says for quite many of them so not sure I understand your question.
- yorwba 3y agoThe first five are from here: https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_Zqd4CZH5wPAC/page/n177/mode/1up https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_Zqd4CZH5wPAC/page/n177/mo... where the sourcing is less clear. Isn't it great when an old book on archive.org cites another old book that turns out to also be available on archive.org?
- bradrn 3y agoFascinating! But that just pushes the question back: where did they get them from?
