An Historical Greek Grammar: Chiefly of the Attic Dialect

Jannaris grammar is a historical one in the truest sense of the world. Surveying the history of the language from the Classical period up to the end of the 19th century, Jannaris examines ancient texts, inscriptions, papyri, and the popular speech of his own contemporary period. Primarily interested in the continuity of the Greek language through history, he provides an essential window into the period of the language between the New Testament and the modern period with keen insight and an avoidance of speculative reasoning.
