In 1876 the Leipzig publisher Breitkopf und H rtel launched a
series on Indo-European languages entitled 'Bibliothek
Indogermanischer Grammatiken'. The first three volumes covered
phonology, Greek and Sanskrit. This short introduction to the
comparative method, published in 1880, was the fourth. It was
highly successful, with six editions appearing between 1880 and
1919. Its author, Berthold Delbr ck (1842 1922), Professor of
Sanskrit at Jena, was a former student of the pioneering
Indo-Europeanist Franz Bopp. Delbr ck expanded the horizons of the
field to cover syntax as well as phonology and morphology; his
magisterial studies of Sanskrit and Indo-European syntax (also
reissued in the Cambridge Library Collection) appeared between 1886
and 1900. This book, designed as a guide for readers of the
Breitkopf series, includes a fascinating history of Indo-European
philology from its founding fathers Jones and Bopp through
Humboldt, Schleicher and Curtius to Delbr ck's own time, and
outlines the most recent developments.
