What reading level is The Alphabet: An Account of the Origin And Development of Letters book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The transition took place in the 7th century, when there was a short period during which the letter mem exhibits the new form, while shin remains unchanged.
It is precisely to this transitional period that the Siloam inscription must be referred.
We have to go to Nineveh for the dated monuments which yield these tests. On the two lion weights which bear the name of Sennacherib (705-681 b.c.) both of the test letters retain the primitive zigzag form. On certain contract tablets, executed during ...the reigns of Esarhaddon and Assurbanipal, bearing Digitized by Google THE ALPHABET OF ISRAEL. 237 dates ranging from 680 to 640 B.C., we find that mem has acquired the barred form, while shin is still zigzag.
The earliest examples of the barred form of shin are found on three tablets dated from the eponymies of Silim-assur and Sin-sar-uzur (650-640 B.C.). Hence the test forms found in the Siloam inscription prevailed at Nineveh from 680 to 640, a period which corres- ponds very closely with the reign of Manasseh (697- 642).
