From the library of Raffaella Cribiore [1948-2023], professor of Classics at New York University. She specialized in papyrology, ancient education, ancient Greek rhetoric and the Second Sophistic. The language of classical Greek literature has been extensively studied since the Renaissance, and the most generally admired approach to Greek grammar and syntax has long been K. W. Krüger's Griechische Sprachlehre. In this translation Guy L. Cooper III accepts Krüger's simple and transparent organization, but greatly expands the substance of the earlier work by increasing the total number of citations from the original texts. Research since 1875, especially the contributions of Basil Lanneau Gildersleeve, is incorporated so as to create a reference work, in English, which covers the full range of this complex subject. Guy L. Cooper III [b. 1930] was Professor Emeritus of Classics, University of North Carolina at Asheville, and most widely recognized for his monumental work in translating and vastly expanding the syntactic analyses of German scholar Karl Wilhelm Krüger into English.…
