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, crossreferenced 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 koin (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 wellknown 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 koin Greek. The commentary assumes no prior knowledge of Greek historical linguistics, but provides a basic amount of uptodate bibliography so that advanced students and others can pursue linguistic issues at greater depth where necessary.
