Opis

Varro's twenty-five-volume De lingua Latina was the first large-scale linguistic treatment of Latin, though only books 5-10 and a few additional fragments survive. This new critical edition with translation and full commentary offers a comprehensive treatment of this highly technical text and its invaluable insights into ancient linguistics.
