A Guide to the Old Persian Inscriptions is a book written by Herbert Cushing Tolman and first published in 1893. The book is a comprehensive guide to the ancient Persian inscriptions that were found on various artifacts and monuments. The inscriptions were written in Old Persian, which was the language used by the Persian Empire during the Achaemenid period (550-330 BCE). The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides an introduction to the history of the Persian Empire and the development of the Old Persian language. It also explains the methods used to decipher the inscriptions and provides a detailed explanation of the grammar and vocabulary of Old Persian. The second part of the book is a collection of Old Persian inscriptions, including those found on the famous Behistun Inscription, which was carved into a cliff face in western Iran. The inscriptions are accompanied by English translations and detailed notes on their historical and cultural significance. Overall, A Guide to the Old Persian Inscriptions is an important resource for scholars and enthusiasts of ancient Persian history and language. It provides a valuable insight into the culture and achievements of the Persian Empire and sheds light on the development of one of the world's oldest and most influential languages.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
