LEKHAN KALA KA ITIHAS (Hindi)
In 2 volumes with 60 maps of various countries
381 alphabet tables 362 forms of scripts
By Ishwarchandra Rahi
Edited by Prof. Lallan Gopal
1983 250 x 190 mm 1050 pp (in 2 volumes)
Hardback Rs. 400.00 for the set

I have very limited copies of this set. It is an excellent work
on various scripts in the world, their development and their
history.

The book traces the origin and development of languages
from all over the world; the introduction of scripts, their
gradual development; the special features of each script;
its relation to other scripts developed in that area / nation;
and a scientific analysis of the language, it's script and
modern usages. While demonstrating the development
of the script and language of a nation, the nation's
development in its entirety has also been taken into account.
Ancient as well as modern maps of the nations as well as
tables where the entire alphabet is shown, have been used
liberally to effectively showcase the development of scripts
and languages. Indeed the progress of humankind is
illustrated with this data.

This is a unique effort, certainly the only one carried out
in India.
