The Recueil des inscriptions en linéaire A is a seminal work, published in five volumes between 1976 and 1985 (Études Crétoises 21.1-5). These reference volumes compile all known Linear A inscriptions published up to 1985, offering a revised edition based on rigorous and consistent scholarly principles. The present Supplément continues this tradition by incorporating Linear A texts discovered since 1985 and published up to 2023. The methodology employed closely follows that of Jean-Pierre Olivier and Louis Godart in the original five volumes of the Recueil, ensuring both continuity and scholarly coherence. This new contribution adds 107 documents and 427 signs to the corpus, bringing the total to 1,534 documents and 7,574 signs. The volume includes a section dedicated to dubious inscriptions (those whose attribution to Linear A remains uncertain) and concludes with a comprehensive sign index and a series of palaeographic tables.
