On The First And Second Kinds Of Persepolitan Writing is a book written by Edward Hincks in 1846. The book is focused on the ancient Persian inscriptions found at Persepolis, a city in Iran. Hincks was a renowned scholar of Semitic languages and a pioneer in the decipherment of cuneiform script. In this book, he discusses the two types of writing found at Persepolis: the Old Persian cuneiform script and the Persepolitan or "imperial" Aramaic script. Hincks provides a detailed analysis of the inscriptions, their content, and their historical significance. He also compares them to other ancient inscriptions found in the region. The book is considered a landmark in the study of ancient Persian history and language, and it remains a valuable resource for scholars and students of the subject.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
