Synopsis

This book is an ambitious work of comparative syntax, which explores the use of the subjunctive and optative moods in Greek and Latin. The author, an accomplished scholar in the field, presents a comprehensive analysis of these moods, tracing their historical development and discussing their various functions. The book is significant for its insights into the evolution of these moods, particularly the anticipatory subjunctive, a construction used to express predicted, counted upon, or anticipated actions. The author argues that this construction developed out of an earlier volitive use, where the subjunctive expressed the will or demand of the speaker. The book provides valuable insights into the relationship between these moods and the development of modal constructions in Indo-European languages.
