What it's about
An Historical Greek Grammar by Antonius Nicholas Jannaris (1897) is a comprehensive, diachronic study of Attic Greek—from its classical origins through Hellenistic and modern forms. Spanning 737 pages, the work draws on ancient texts, inscriptions, papyri, and contemporary vernacular (koine and modern Greek), providing phonological, morphological, syntactic evolution and detailed analysis. Aimed at both scholars and educated readers, Jannaris introduces precise terminology (e.g., “phonopathy,” “metaphony”) and extensive bibliographic indexes . Widely regarded as the sole full diachronic grammar of Greek, it remains a foundational reference for classical philologists and Modern Greek linguists.
