A pool of renowned international linguists pulled together to perform an ambitious goal: describing language contact as a main trigger for the development of different writing systems in the ancient world. The reader is accordingly led to an imaginary time travel from Greece to Anatolia, from Egypt to Sudan, from Tripolitania to Etruria and Latium searching for the schemes governing the invention or change of writing systems due to language contact.
