Henry John Roby (1830 1915) was a Cambridge-educated classicist
whose influential career included periods as a schoolmaster, a
Professor of Roman law at University College, London, an
educational reformer and a Member of Parliament. First published in
1884, this volume provides an analysis and discussion of
Justinian's Digesta, a compendium of second and third century Roman
legal writings which forms part of the body of Roman civil law
issued under Justinian I in 533 AD. It is considered a fundamental
work of Roman jurisprudence. Roby discusses the historical context
of the Digesta, compares extracts in other legal sources with the
original text and provides the Latin text of De Usufructu (one of
the titles from the Digesta) with detailed close textual discussion
and analysis. This volume was the first published guide to studying
the Digesta and is considered one of Roby's most important
contributions to jurisprudence.
Henry John Roby (1830 1915) was a Cambridge-educated classicist
whose influential career included periods as a schoolmaster,
professor of Roman law, businessman, educational reformer and
Member of Parliament. Elementary Latin Grammar (1862) is a
complete, concise introduction to the Latin language. Written for
classroom use, it presents essential grammatical constructions in
the clearest possible manner, using ample material from the
classical authors as demonstrations of basic principles. The book
guides the reader through noun and adjective declensions and the
full array of verb conjugations before turning to prosody and
syntax, where Roby's innovations in Latin instruction are most
evident. Simple, direct, and based upon examples including texts by
Livy and Cicero, the book shows students how to parse basic
sentences while also introducing them to more subtle and complex
constructions. It remains a useful resource for teachers of Latin,
and a fascinating document in the history of education.
Henry John Roby (1830 1915) was a Cambridge-educated classicist
whose influential career included periods as a schoolmaster,
professor of Roman law, businessman, educational reformer and
Member of Parliament. His two-volume Grammar of the Latin Language
went through seven editions during his lifetime. It provides
in-depth analysis of Latin phonetics, noun and verb construction,
and syntax and morphology, taking a descriptive approach. Drawing
examples from the corpus of classical writings dating from circa
200 BCE. to 120 CE, this first volume (1872) discusses sounds and
syllable quantities, noun and verb inflexions, and the basic
elements of word formation, organized according to noun and verb
stems. Appendices include pronoun tables, lists of weights and
measures, and a chronological compilation of inscriptions from the
republican era. A work of remarkable breadth and depth, Roby's book
remains an essential resource for both historical linguistics and
the study of Latin grammar.
Henry John Roby (1830 1915) was a Cambridge-educated classicist
whose influential career included periods as a schoolmaster,
professor of Roman law, businessman, educational reformer and
Member of Parliament. His two-volume Grammar of the Latin Language
reveals his innovative, descriptive approach to grammar, which
situates thorough analysis of the Latin language within the
historical context of the writings themselves, or, as Roby puts it,
setting 'example above precept' in order to put grammar 'in the
proper light, as an account of what men do say, not a theory of
what they should say'. Drawing examples from the corpus of
classical writings dating from circa 200 BCE. to 120 CE; this
second volume (1875) is devoted to syntax, including a complete
analysis of cases, tense, and mood. A work of remarkable breadth
and depth, Roby's book remains an essential resource for both
historical linguistics and the study of Latin grammar.
