A Parallel of Greek and Latin Syntax

Post by calvinist »

I just stumbled across this book: https://books.google.com/books?id=E8xFA ... &q&f=false
I'm not sure if it's been mentioned here before but it sets Latin and Greek syntax side by side in columns with example sentences (translated) covering every topic from the case uses to subordinate clauses. I've only skimmed through it but it looks like a great book to browse through for anyone who studies both Latin and Greek.

Chad, I didn't realize Google Books couldn't be accessed from some countries. The one you linked is a different book, but it follows pretty much the same layout. Two is better than one! I found the one I originally linked on that website, they have similar titles: http://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=c ... =1up;seq=5

The other one was published 1877, I think, and this one was published 1902. The font is a littler more readable, or it may just be the scan.

Many thanks - however, I can't access (from Australia) the second link you give either. It says: "This item is not available online ( Limited - search only) due to copyright restrictions. Learn More »". Basically no link that anyone gives to google books on here works outside the US and a few other countries it seems. All the archive.org links work though, and so usually when someone posts a book link to google books I try to look it up on archive.org and sometimes it's there too, sometimes not. Cheers, Chad

I uploaded the pdf from the original link to archive.org:

“One might get one’s Greek from the very lips of Homer and Plato." "In which case they would certainly plough you for the Little-go. The German scholars have improved Greek so much.”
