A Critical Appendix to the Pylos Tablets (1955)

Resumen

No one who studies the originals of the Pylos tablets can fail to be impressed by the meticulous care and accuracy of the two editions published by Bennett \ The second of these added to the transcribed texts fac-simile drawings made from photographs, which show clearly the lay-out and handwriting of the original, but are not adequate as a control, since they still contain a subjective element, not all the marks on the photograph being copied. It is to be hoped that a complete album of photographs will be published in due course; but there still remain difficulties in reading which cannot be resolved except by inspection of the originals; and even then different scholars will arrive at different readings.
