Omschrijving

Discover the grammar that explains how Latin spoke and changed between Plautus and Suetonius. Essential for students of classics. Henry John Roby's A Grammar of the Latin Language From Plautus to Suetonius, Part 1 is a rigorous, systematically arranged latin grammar reference that examines phonology, inflection and derivation as used in the ancient Roman language. Written as both a classical language textbook and a historical linguistics guide, the volume presents Book I on sounds, Book II on inflexions and Book III on word-formation, with appendices to aid comparative work and focused study. Roby's close readings show sound-change in action and set out latin inflection rules with clarity; his discussion of latin word formation traces derivations that recur across poetry and prose. Designed for clarity as much as scholarship, it functions equally well as classroom material, a self-study companion and a practical reference for translators, while offering the analytical depth expected by researchers. Methodologically significant, the work maps shifts in usage across genres and periods, making it a valuable resource for ancient literature studies and for anyone treating Latin as a living, changing tongue. As a comprehensive latin grammar it supports comparative philology, helps contextualise texts from the republican stage through the Roman Empire era, and remains a trusted language scholars resource for tracing morphology and phonetics across authors. Casual readers exploring original texts will find accessible explanations; students of classics will gain a structured path through forms and functions; collectors of classical scholarship will consider the volume an essential addition to a latin language collection. The book's philological method rewards close reading and comparative research, providing a bridge between classroom grammar and the scholar's toolkit. Its examples are suitable for seminar discussion, translation practice and advanced study, so it appeals equally to conscientious beginners and to seasoned researchers.
