About the Author The Editor and Translator: Ilse Nesbitt Jones is a Phi Beta Kappa alumna of the University of Kansas with an M.A. from the University of Tulsa. .

She has been involved with Etruscan translation more than twenty-five years
"A Linguistic Fantasy" according to Ian M. Ragsdale. This book is a prime example of why mass comparison is so alluring, yet has the potential to be devastatingly incorrect. Jones' introdution proposes that Etruscan is the lost Germanic language of the Jutes and throughout the book she throws any Germanic word or root - and any Proto-Indo-European root, for that matter - that fits the Etruscan words in her texts. However, given the persistence of Germanic
Etruscan is revealed to be an early Gothic language, a partial forerunner of English through the language of the Jutes. The mystery of what language Etruscan originated from is solved in the translation of five texts. The longest text, which had been wrapped around a mummy, rather than being, as formerly thought, a ritual, recounts the process used to produce continuation of the personal living appearance, the aim of Egyptian mummification..
