Présentation de l'éditeur
Sir Charles Newton, in the course of his admirable articles on Greek inscriptions, remarks that what is now wanted is a popular work, giving a classification of Greek inscriptions according to their age, country, and subject, and a selection of texts by way of samples, under each class. The present work represents an attempt to supply the need indicated by the words which I have quoted. The scope of the book will be best understood if it be described as an Introduction or Handbook to a Corpus I nscriptionvmi Oraecarum, imagined, if that were possible, to be complete at the time of publication. But completeness is quite beyond reach in the present condition of epigraphical science and epigraphical discovery. If all exploration and research on ancient classical sites were to be stopped for a period of years, it might be possible indeed to issue a Corpus, which should contain all extant known Greek inscriptions; but on the day which maiked the resumption of exploration a supplementary volume would be needed. Such a supplementary volume had in the first instance been contemplated by August Boeckh, the original editor of the Corpus I nscriptionum Qraecarwm but so vast have been the additions to the number of Greek inscriptions since Boeckh sfirst volume was published in 1828, that the scholars who succeeded to his task abandoned the idea of completing Boeckh swork in the sense originally intended; the supplement would in fact have exceeded in bulk the work to which it was to form an adjunct. This and other considerations led the Academy of Berlin to undertake the gigantic enterprise of Exsays on Art and Archaeology by C. T. Newton. London, 1880. R.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book narrates the history of the Greek alphabet from its earliest stages to the adoption of the Ionic alphabet by Athens in 403 B.C.E. It begins by examining the evolution of the Greek alphabet from a Phoenician prototype, tracing the development of vowel signs and the introduction of letters to represent aspirate and sibilant sounds. The author then divides the Greek alphabets into Eastern and Western groups, based on the form and order of the letters for X (chi), Î (psi), and Î (omega), exploring the reasons behind the differences between these groups. The book provides a detailed examination of inscriptions from various regions and periods, shedding light on the gradual changes in the Greek alphabet over time. Through this analysis, the author uncovers the diversity and evolution of the Greek alphabet, showcasing its significance in understanding the development of Greek language and literature.
