Litterae antiquae

Litterae antiquae e litteris oralibus ortae sunt, e fabulis et poematibus quae ante evolutionem artis scribendi minime maleque supersunt, quamquam fragmenta textuum veterum exstant, fortasse etiam, secundum Augustum Nitschke, e fabellis puerilibus e temporibus glaciali recentissimo aevoque mesolithico commemorata.^[1]

Primae litterae certe notae ex tempore circa annum 2600 a.C.n. fere exstant, Sumerice scriptae.^[2] Primus litterarum auctor nomine proprio notus est Enheduanna, sacerdos Sumeriana et persona publica qui saeculo viginti quarto a.C.n. vixit.^[3]
