Published in 1897, this two-volume work by Robert Seymour Conway
(1864 1933), classical scholar and comparative philologist, later
Hulme Professor of Latin at the University of Manchester, aims to
shed light on the origins of the Latin language and Roman
institutions by careful examination of the dialects and customs of
Rome's neighbours. The work is laid out in geographical order, so
that the influence of one dialect on its neighbours can be traced.
The first volume collects all the surviving remains of Oscan,
Umbrian and other minor Italic dialects, gleaned primarily from
epigraphic sources (such as Oscan inscriptions at Pompeii), but
also from the evidence of coins, glosses and other references in
later writers, and geographical and proper names from the dialect
areas. The second volume contains an alphabet, a grammar and syntax
of the dialects, appendices, indexes of names and a glossary of the
dialect words.
