Matzevath Olam [interpretation and critical commentary on the inscription on the sarcophagus of Eschmounezer King of Sidon]

The author was a renowned Parisian-Polish scholar with diverse interests ranging from ancient to modern history. He was a member of the Societe Asiatique in Paris and various other learned Societies both in France and other countries. His uncle, the Polish scholar and journalist Joseph Cohen-Tzedek, states in his lengthy enthusiastic approbation, that for years over thirty academics toiled in vain to properly decipher this enigmatic ancient inscription, until Isaac Roller ingeniously discovered the key. This important sarcophagus was exhibited at the Louvre for many years.
