The Book Shed

Light shelf wear to tips, corners, and edges of the book, a bit more to the jacket which is price-clipped with a bit of the pricing visible; some copyright page information blacked out. First printing.'Zacharie Mayani was educated at Paris University, where he received his doctorate. He was also a student in the École du Louvre. His book Les Etrusques commencent a parler (The Etruscans Begin to Speak) put forth a thesis with exuberant reconstructions that the Etruscan language of antiquity had links to the modern Albanian language. This connection is dismissed by most scholars as "wildly speculative". Comparative linguistics have long demonstrated that Albanian is a unique branch of the Indo-European languages, whereas the classification of Etruscan remains uncertain.'--From Wikipedia.
