It seems Manguel frames the history of reading to Europe. I did see some references to MEast. I was surprised that he mentions the Toleranzpatent of Joseph II, but completely leaves the reforms of Peter the Great out.
Curious to see where the geographical borders of this book will extend to.

Well, omissions are profound. I understand he has to keep a framework and a focus point, but it’s odd to read the change from pictographs to cuneiform in just two sentences. How’s it not important in terms of reading? Hoping that he will come back to this in the following chapters.
