Encyclopedia > Standard Alphabet by Lepsius

The Standard Alphabet by Lepsius is an alphabet developed by Carl Richard Lepsius to write African languages. Published 1855 and in a revised edition (with many more languages added) in 1863. It was comprehensive but it wasn't used much as it contains a lot of diacritic marks and therefore was difficult to read, write and typeset at that time.

Karl Richard Lepsius Summary (1073 words)
Karl (or Carl) Richard Lepsius (December 23, 1810 – July 10, 1884) was a pioneering Prussian Egyptologist and linguist and pioneer of modern archaeology.
He was born in Naumburg an der Saale, Saxony (now in Germany), the third son of Karl Peter Lepsius and Friedericke Glaser, and studied Greek and Roman archaeology at the universities of Leipzig (1829–1830), Göttingen (1830–1832), and Berlin (1832–1833).
In 1842 Lepsius was commissioned (at the recommendation of Alexander von Humboldt and Carl Josias Bunsen) by King Frederich Wilhelm IV of Prussia to lead an expedition to Egypt and the Sudan to explore and record the remains of the ancient Egyptian civilisation.
