Descrizione : Title: Report of the Committee Appointed by the Philomathean Society of the University of Pennsylvania To Translate the Inscription on the Rosetta Stone - Philomathean Society Author: Philomathean Society Publisher: University of Pennsylvania Press City: Philadelphia Year: 1859 Printing Information: Second Edition Binding Style: Hardcover Pagination: 152/24 pages Width: 7.75 Height: 9.5 Book Details: The Rosetta Stone is a rock stele, found in 1799, inscribed with a decree issued at Memphis, Egypt, in 196 BC on behalf of King Ptolemy V. The decree appears in three scripts: the upper text is Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, the middle portion is Demotic script, and the lowest is Ancient Greek. Because it presents essentially the same text in all three scripts (with some minor differences among them), the stone provided the key to the modern understanding of Egyptian hieroglyphs.
