About this book

This book is a guide to the basic tools of Renaissance Greek studies and their use in the classrooms of the 15th and 16th centuries. Author Paul Botley examines the origins and diffusion of 21 Greek grammars composed during the period, explores the development of Greek lexicography during the Renaissance and its relationship with surviving ancient and Byzantine Greek lexica, and studies the fortunes of the Greek authors known to have been used by Renaissance students. The book concludes with two appendices that catalog all Greek grammatical and lexical works printed before 1530.
