Grammatical description and instruction have left their enduring
imprint on European scholarship and culture. For more than twenty
centuries, grammar has been the cornerstone of humanist education,
and has been transmitted continuously, albeit in changing -
chronologically, geographically, politically, and institutionally -
contexts. The papers in this volume document the transmission,
adaptation and re-elaboration of grammar, since Antiquity, by
focusing on its foundational concepts and techniques. The vectors
of these processes of transmission and adaptation are texts, and
behind these texts, we can reconstruct networks of interaction:
between teachers and students, between scholars and models of
description, and - as the overarching dynamics - the dialogue
between the members of the "virtual community" interested in the
study of language. The seventeen papers of this volume have been
arranged into six sections: "Grammar: The Fate of a Cultural
Discipline"; "The Origins of Linguistic Reflection in Ancient
Greece"; "Ancient Greek grammar: Theorization and Practice"; "Latin
Grammar in Antiquity and the Low Middle Ages: Heritage and
Innovation"; "Renaissance Grammar and Rhetoric: The Encounter
between Classical Languages and the Vernaculars"; "Philological
Deposits of Ancient Latin Grammars"). The volume is rounded off
with detailed indices (Index of names; Index of Greek, Latin, and
Latinized technical terms; Index of concepts).
