Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book explores the changes that occurred in the Greek language during the Hellenistic period, between the death of Alexander the Great and the Roman conquest. During this period, Greek lost its relative homogeneity as it spread throughout Alexander's vast empire, taking on various influences from other languages and cultures. The author traces these changes through a close examination of inscriptions, papyri and literary sources, highlighting the emergence of a common literary language, or koine, which would become the lingua franca of the Hellenistic world and the New Testament. The book also sheds light on the influence of non-native speakers and the role of spoken language in shaping the development of koine. Through an in-depth analysis of the linguistic evidence, the author provides new insights into the social, cultural, and political factors that shaped the evolution of Greek during this pivotal period. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
