A Historical Greek Reader provides an introduction to the history
of the ancient Greek language by means of a series of texts with
linguistic commentary, cross-referenced to each other and to a
reference grammar at the front. It offers a selection of epigraphic
and literary texts from the Mycenaean period (roughly the
fourteenth century BC) to the koine (the latest text dates to the
second century AD), and includes a wide range of Greek dialect
texts. The epigraphic section balances a number of well-known
inscriptions with recent discoveries that may not be easily
available elsewhere; a selection of literary texts traces major
developments in the language of Greek poetry and literary prose.
The book finishes with an account of the linguistic and
sociolinguistic background of koine Greek. The commentary assumes
no prior knowledge of Greek historical linguistics, but provides a
basic amount of up-to-date bibliography so that advanced students
and others can pursue linguistic issues at greater depth where
necessary.
