218 PHILOLOGY 



Anatomy; TANNERY, author of a standard work on Greek 

 Science; DAREMBERG and SAGLIO, editors of the famous 

 Dictionary of Antiquities; THUROT, one of the best inter- 

 preters of the works of Aristotle; WEIL, editor and 

 commentator in many fields of Greek Language and 

 Literature; C. LENORMANT and his son, F. LENORMANT,

 not only broad and exact learning, but in particular a 

 fine and sympathetic appreciation of the spirit of the 

 Greeks. 



BERARD, by his efforts to identify sites which had 

 been regarded as purely mythical, and by his proofs of 

 the great importance of a knowledge of geography in 

 understanding early history, has created a new field of 

 research. 



PSICHARI is the recognized leader of those writers who 

 are elevating the vernacular of Modern Greek to the 

 dignity of a literary language, and who by their own 

 productions are giving it a literature. 



This list of conspicuous Hellenic scholars might be 

 multiplied, since in every field of Greek studies a place
