Semitic glyphs < pictographs - resources?




I'm interested in a "con-script" as well as a conlang :)

Can anyone suggest good discussions of the origins of the Semitic alphabet, particularly with reference to its acquisition of character names from original pictographs? I have a few general "origins of the alphabet" books, but they don't go into much detail (if there is much detail to go into!).

Cheers,
Carl
