Argues that the sign sequences on seals name the seal's owner or user rather than what was stamped, that the seals were luxury ornaments whose script was meant to be seen more than read, that the script originated on seals, and that the Archanes script should count as a third Minoan script. Chapter title here is descriptive, from Donnelly's review; the printed title was not retrieved.
