The excellence of this book rises from a paradox: though it is an account of linguistic theory and practice, it is a fine piece of philology in the wide sense one finds in German writers. [...] While the authors of the articles have the philologist's knack of thinking in the ancient mould imposed by their matter, they are not averse to rereading the ancient paradigms in light of modern linguistics, to explaining the ancient context of grammar through sociolinguistics, or to applying some of the lessons of sister disciplines, like ancient history.
