Art. XXI.—Note on the Van Inscriptions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 March 2011
Extract
Since the commencement of Cuneiform studies in Europe attentionhas been paid to Armenian or Yannic inscriptions; and, as is well known, it was the unfortunate Schulz who first copied and collected the inscriptions of Yan. These copies, full of faults, were those on which scholars commenced their Yannic studies. After Mordtmann, Robert, and F. Lenormant, Professor Sayce deciphered and published, as far as possible, bis own and his predecessor's researches.
