EMDE BOAS, E. van, A. RIJKSBARON, a.o., The Cambridge Grammar of Classical Greek. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge (...), 2019. XLII,811p. Large paperback. Lower corner front cover a little bit bumped / slightly dog's eared. Upper corner from pp.135-375 more or less bumped. This is the first full-scale reference grammar of Classical Greek in English in a century. The first work of its kind to reflect significant advances in linguistics made in recent decades, it provides students, teachers and academics with a comprehensive yet user-friendly treatment. The chapters on phonology and morphology make full use of insights from comparative and historical linguistics to elucidate complex systems of roots, stems and endings. The syntax offers linguistically up-to-date descriptions of such topics as case usage, tense and aspect, voice, subordinate clauses, infinitives and participles. An innovative section on textual coherence treats particles and word order and discusses several sample passages in detail, demonstrating new ways of approaching Greek texts. Throughout the book numerous original examples are provided, all with translations and often with clarifying notes. Clearly laid-out tables, helpful cross-references and full indexes make this essential resource accessible to users of all levels. (Publisher's information). € 35.00 (Antiquarian)

Brill, Boston / Leiden, 2002. XIII,371;16,10,5,8p. ills.(B&W photographs and line drawings). Paperback. Nice copy. ‘The study of the classical tradition has long been a disparate one. All too often scholars have tended to concentrate upon the influences of antiquity in one writer or artist, and failed to place these influences in a wider context. Yet, without this context, the classical tradition is little more than an exercise in erudition. This volume (…) is therefore a welcome collection of seventeen essays that draw parallels between the many and diverse aspects of the classical tradition in the early modern period. (…) The volume will be useful to historians of all aspects of the early modern period, as well as historians of the classical tradition and cultural history. (…) the standard of scholarship is generally high, and the essays carry copious references to further scholarship.’ (IAN MACGREGOR MORRIS in the Journal of Roman Studies, 2003, p.348). From the library of Prof. Carl Deroux. € 25.00 (Antiquarian)

ENERMALM-OGAWA, A., Un langage de prière juif en grec. Le témoignage des deux premiers livres des Maccabées. Almqvist & Wiksell, Stockholm, 1987. 157p. Paperback. Some erasable pencil markings and annotations from H. Hilhorst. Series: Coniectanea Biblica, New Testament Series, 17. ‘Its aim is to establish the characteristic features of the language of prayer of the Greek speaking Jews. To this end the author studies the prayers in 1 and 2 Maccabees, which she compares with those in a number of Jewish and Christian texts (…). She deals with four aspects, context of the prayers, vocabulary, style, and organization. The study of the context reveals the function of the prayers in the composition of the work, as a commentary on the immediate context as a means of expressing a message which the authors of 1 or 2 Maccabees want to impart. Under ‘vocabulary’ words and expressions which carry significant ideas are discussed (…). Under ‘style’ the author singels out no less than five qualities: affective meaning of words and clauses, figures of style, frequency and position of words, rhythm and attitude of the author towards his object. Finally, under ‘organization’ she studies the arrangement of the subject matter, the subject matter itself and the actors and action (…). The value of the book consists chiefly in its analysis of the different prayers.’ (A. HILHORST in Journal for the Study of Judaism, 1989, p.222). € 30.00 (Antiquarian)
