This book is a detailed analysis of the history of Greek grammar, primarily informed through a study of inscriptions. The author presents an overview of the history of linguistic research on Greek grammar from the Renaissance and Enlightenment to today, setting up the philological background for the new inscriptions studied in this book. The book then goes on to analyze the inscriptions themselves, creating a detailed timeline of the various different periods and scripts in which these texts were written. Given the vernacular nature of these inscriptions, this book examines the ways in which the chapters of Greek grammar studied in academic settings were reflected differently through practical everyday use. This thorough examination of a variety of Greek inscriptions opens up a new avenue for the study of Greek grammar and will give readers insight into how some of the language's rules came to be and how others have been lost.
