Introduction to the Study of the Greek Dialects: Grammar Selected Inscriptions Glossary

Carl D. Buck’s introduction to Greek dialectology is a classic textbook that continues to be valued to this day. With broad coverage of the most important dialects, Buck illustrates how each dialect of Ancient Greek varies in morphology and grammar. These differences are essential for the study of the Koine period because many formal idiosyncrasies in the 1st century are a product of different dialect forms becoming standard from one word to the next.
