"This book offers a thorough modern coverage of the writing systems
of the world. I believe that it will quickly become a standard
reference work in its field." Henry Rogers, University of
Toronto
"What makes this encyclopedia a great whole is the synthesis of all
the little fascinating things about writing systems, scripts, and
orthographies, which Coulmas differentiates in clear conceptual
terms...The reviewer recommends it to the specialist and the layman
enthusiastically and with no reservations whatsoever." P.G.
Patel, University of Ottawa
" A good work of this kind is an indispensible reference tool for
the student or scholar of writing systems...C's encyclopedia does
an excellent job of presenting hundreds of terms used in the
analysis of writing systems...It does so... in prose of clarity
that makes each entry a pleasure to read." Janet S. Smith,
University of California, Davis
