Quoted text:
G.R. Driver, Semitic Writing From Pictograph to Alphabet (Oxford: 1948), p. 157–158.
Originally in Chapter 1, this was cited as “G.R. Driver, Semitic Writing, From Pictograph to Alphabet (3rd ed., London: 1976).” The year and title punctuation were different from what we found, and there was no link. Can you help us verify the citation?
Chapter 1’s citation of this originally was as follows, with no link:
G.R. Driver, Semitic Writing, From Pictograph to Alphabet (3rd ed., London: 1976).
However, we suspected this might instead be intended as we updated it to in Chapter 1 and in Chapter 4:
G.R. Driver, Semitic Writing From Pictograph to Alphabet (Oxford: 1948), p. 157–158.
See related query in Chapter 4:
Originally in Chapter 4, this was written as “Driver 1976: 179”: the full citation was missing, and both the year and page numbers were different from what we found: G.R. Driver, Semitic Writing From Pictograph to Alphabet (Oxford: 1948), p. 157–158.
Can you help us to confirm the relevant part discussed here is on pages 157–158 of the text that we cite? It may be a different edition, or possibly the wrong text.
From our research, the author of this text, G.R. Driver, died in 1975, meaning that the original “1976” may have been either a posthumous edition we could not find that may have different page numbers or a typo. What do you think?
