The talk will be given by Ms Judith Dillon. For the last several years Ms. Dillon has been studying the history of writing and its association with the images that inspired our oldest alphabet. Her talk will concentrate on the history of early writing until the creation of our own alphabet from its origins in Egypt. Because Judith loves the mythic as well as the literal history, she will include some of the stories attached to the creation of the alphabet.
