Hmmm. Most of this is well above my head since it has been three years since I opened a text on writing systems. But I do wonder why there is no link to the cuneiform article since the word pops up so often, or to the syllabary article, since the Hittite writing system Sayce discovered is based on syllables. Is there any reason to leave them out? AlainV 07:57, 2004 Apr 12 (UTC)

Expand!

[edit]

I feel that this article does a degree of injustice to Sayce. He was extremely forward thinking for his time and to an extent dragged Middle East studies out of the 19th century, rescuing the discipline from the continuing domination of conservative German scholars. I am sure there is much more that could be written about him here!Geoff Powers (talk) 18:39, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
