Summary "Hieroglyfic: or, a Grammatical Introduction to an Universal Hieroglyfic Language" by Rowland Jones is a comprehensive exploration of language and grammar, likely composed in the late 17th century. The text aims to delineate a universal hieroglyphic language that connects English signs and voices while delving into the intricacies of English, Welsh, Greek, and Latin languages. It discusses the philosophical underpinnings of language, the nature of man, and the conceptual origins of speech in an attempt to restore clarity to the corrupt state of contemporary languages. The opening of this work sets a foundational tone for the entire treatise, introducing the complexity and importance of language. Jones embarks on an inquiry into the nature of man and language, suggesting that human speech is a divine gift entwined with nature and the universe. He critiques existing lexicographical approaches, arguing for a restoration of the “primitive” knowledge of language through a structured examination of its principles. The preface encourages readers to engage with this philosophical investigation, contemplating the intersections of language, thought, and identity. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
