Présentation de l'éditeur
Charles Graux review -of Lehmann s Die tachygraphischen A hkiirzungen will explain the purpose of this pamphlet. He says, il est absolument indispensable que beaucoup dobservations exactes soient dabord publies avant que, k Texemple du naturaliste qui dresse comparativement un tableau de la faune ou de la flore des divers regions du globe, les paldographes puissent un jour tablir Ttat des abrviations usites dans le monde byzantin de sicle en sifecle The science of Greek Palaeography, or at least that portion of it which deals with contractions, has reached a point at which what is necessary for its progress is not the production of allinclusive handbooks with an immediate practical aim, where conclusions are laid down with all possible definiteness and width, but rather a series of observations of the actual usage of manuscripts, noted with all available accuracy by investigators whose occupations have given them familiarity with the ways of scribes and the possibilities of Greek writing. Such observations indeed must be classified and brought into relations with one another, and hypotheses may be suggested to explain the facts observed; but, as with any other yet undeveloped science, the first and main object must be the collection of fresh evidence. How little has been done towards such collection is known to anyone who has tried to find definite information upon the Revue Critique, 1880, Notices bibliographiques, etc., p. 168.
