  Part of the Advanced Language Series, this is a revised edition of The Greek Dialects published by ChicagoUniversity Press in 1955. Its virtues were comparativeclarity and conciseness on a subject too often treated, for example bycontemporary work in German, with prolixity and obscurity. It becamethe standard scholarly introduction and reference work on questions ofdialect; and though much valuable additional work has been done on thesubject since its appearance, it largely retains its original virtuesand still provides a valuable starting point of reference.

  The Advanced Language Series reissues important books on Greek andLatin Language (and associated areas) which have been unavailable forsome time or have not previously appeared in readily affordablepaperback format. They are intended for the reference shelves of allscholars and students of classical languages.
