Mitford, Reader in Archaeology in the Univ. of St. Andrews, presents a comprehensive study of all known inscriptions from the ancient city of Kourion on the island of Cyprus.

The hieratic handwriting was a transition from symbols to primitive letters; the papyrus reed, cut in slices and gummed together, was used as paper for this writing, much of which is very beautifully executed in black and red inks.

Wachter provides a detailed catalogue of the inscriptions together with an epigraphical and linguistic analysis and commentary.
