Towards a Systematisation of Palaeohispanic Scripts in Unicode: synthesising multiple transcription hypotheses into two consensus encodings

This work is a preliminary attempt at the systematisation of the Palaeohispanic scripts into the Unicode standard, which have the goal to establish the basic set of meaningful signs in a script or a group of closely-related scripts. With regard to the number of character sets needed to encode all th...

With regard to the number of character sets needed to encode all the Palaeohispanic scripts, our proposal is to classify them into two groups, the north-eastern Iberian, that includes the north-eastern Iberian script itself and the Celtiberian script, and the southern Palaeohispanic that includes the south-eastern Iberian script, the south-western script and the Espanca script. The basic set of signs for the north-eastern Iberian group is relatively easy to establish, as this script, attested in more than 2,000 inscriptions and nearly a dozen abecedaries, is almost fully deciphered. On the other hand, the selection of a basic set of signs for the southern Palaeohispanic group is a more difficult task, since only less than two hundred southern inscriptions are currently known, no other abecedary than the one from Espanca is attested, and more than a third of the southern signs are identified merely with a conventional code, since scholars disagree about their values, or they are simply unknown.Institución Fernando el Católico2015info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/2445/217425Articles publicats en revistes (Filologia Clàssica, Romànica i Semítica)reponame:Dipòsit Digital de la UBinstname:Universidad de BarcelonaInglésReproducció del document publicat a:Palaeohispanica, 2015, vol. 15, p. 13-55cc-by-nc-sa (c) Institución Fernando el Católico, 2015http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:diposit.ub.edu:2445/2174252026-05-27T06:46:51Z
