About
Enrica Patria
Independent Researcher as stated in
This site gathers Enrica Patria’s work on Linear A and makes it navigable. It keeps the corpus apart from her readings and her hypothesis, and ties every proposal to the publication and page it comes from.
On this site
Her research on this site
Method
Reading Linear A before translating it: how she classifies signs and reads the lists, in her words.
Catalogue
Her readings of signs, sign-groups and whole tablets, set beside the conventional transcription — with the names, divinities and terms she identifies.
The hypothesis
The language she proposes behind Linear A, quoted from her publications.
Documented in her publications
What the sources tell us about her
Only what her own publications and her Academia.edu profile state, each with its source. Nothing is added from elsewhere.
