The origins of writing.

Why is A the first letter of the alphabet? Why is O round? This work tells how Protosinaic pictograms – derived from Egyptian heiroglyphics and discovered in the Sinai only at the beginning of the 20th century – changed throughout the millennia and left their trace on our alphabet.
