Scriptura Mundi Writings Of The World
- This thorough, and almost breathtaking, collection appears as "The First International Review on Writing and Written Cultures of the World." The editor explains that "Scriptura Mundi is an initiative of the NGO for international cultural and media cooperation Balkanmedia Association, founded in 1990 in Sofia, Bulgaria. Scriptura Mundi for the first time presents a wide international and multi perspective, panoramic view on writing and written cultures of the world. It includes the studies of 38 leading national experts from 24 countries on the relevant alphabets and writing systems" . The very scope and complexity of the book makes it impossible to summarize beyond a brief overview of the contents, though even this brief summary gives a good sense of the scope of the work.
