Jean-Pierre Olivier

Epigraphist; co-editor of CHIC 1936–2020.

Jean-Pierre Olivier is belgian epigraphist of the Aegean scripts, co-editor with Louis Godart of the Linear A corpus GORILA and of the Cretan Hieroglyphic corpus CHIC (1996). (1936–2020), and appears in the record of Cretan Hieroglyphic as epigraphist; co-editor of CHIC.

One event on the site involves Olivier: Olivier and Godart publish the Corpus Hieroglyphicarum Inscriptionum Cretae (1996).

Three questions rest in part on what Olivier did or said, among them “How is Cretan Hieroglyphic related to Linear A: parent, sister, or neither?”, which stands open: 2 answers, none ahead.
