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 all-inclusive 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.
