[Αποκρυπτογράφηση Γραμμικής Β] Ventris Michael, Chadwick John, "Documents in Mycenaean Greek: Three hundred selected tablets from Knossos, Pylos and Mycenae with commentary and vocabulary", Cambridge, At the University Press, 1956. 4to, pp.452. The first publication presenting the deciphered ancient Greek script Linear B. The English architect and philologist Michael Ventris along with the English linguist Chadwick John, managed to decipher the ancient Greek script Linear B. Linear A & B scripts were discovered at Knossos excavation by Sir Arthur Evans, who attempted to decipher both in the following decades, with little success. Further ~600 tablets of Linear B were discovered in the Mycenaean palace of Pylos before World War II. This material was the base for Ventriss study, that through comparisons and inspired guesses he managed to decipher the script determining that the underlying language of Linear B was in fact Greek. The results of this study were published in the current edition. Ventris died in a car crash a few weeks before the publication.
