Item description from seller

Blackwell, Oxford, 1973. VIII,215p. Hard bound with dust wrps. Spine gilt titled. Nice copy. ?The book is remarkably clear, well written, and well organized. Yet the reader?s first reaction is one of disappointment: the title (?) promises more than it provides. In the first part we are given some sixty rules which are indeed an essential part of the generative phonology of Greek, but cannot by any means offer an exhaustive account of it. This may explain why a number of doubts and queries remain. (?). At the present stage or research it is difficult to know how much this is due to the nature of Greek phonology, how much to the theory used to describe it, and how much to the particular slant of this book. It would not be right to conclude on this note. This is not a definitive description of Attic Greek phonology ? but theory and facts will require further consideration ? but is a good step towards it: it will be difficult to ignore it.? (A. MORPURGO DAVIES in The Classical Review (New Series), 1976, p.87-88).…

Store description

Scrinium Classical Antiquity, member of the Dutch Association of Antiquarian Booksellers (NVvA - ILAB), stands for a specialized stock of new, secondhand and antiquarian books about Classical Antiquity. The main theme of our books is Classical Antiquity: texts and commentaries, translations, archeology, philosophy, travel, history, mythology, books for young people, philology, law, reception of classical motives in Middle Ages, Renaissance and our own time and neo-Hellenika (conptemporary Greece), and many more subjects. A more modest quantity of our books concerns countries, civilisations and religious movements on the edges of the classical world: e.g. Egypt, Middle East and Early Christianity.…
