222 CLASSICAL SCHOLARSHIP 



Grammar. Pioneer work is being accomplished by Prof. Bennett in his exhaustive 

 treatise on the Syntax of Early Latin. 1 Attention is also due to Prof. Gildersleeve's 

 Syntax of Classical Greek, 2 which proceeds by inductive methods and avoids theoretic 

 speculation. From Prof. Sonnenschein's pen we have an ingenious attempt to classify 

 all subjunctive usages under a single head, 3 and a new primer 4 which applies a standard 

 terminology recently established by a joint committee of British teaching associations. 6 



Palaeography. The materials for the study of palaeography have been increased by 

 the publication of facsimiles of several notable MSS., e.g. the Palatine Anthology of 

 Greek Verse, 6 the Verona palimpsest of Gaius, 7 and the Codex Theodosianus. 8 The 

 output of modern manuals has meanwhile kept pace with this growth of materials. 

 Gardthausen's standard text-book of Greek palaeography is being issued in a revised 

 edition, of which the Introduction has recently appeared. 9 A similar service is being 

 rendered for Latin palaeography by the publication of the late Prof. Traube's authori- 

 tative studies on that subject. 10 



History. The outlines of Greek and Roman history have been sketched in a summary 

 but highly suggestive form in a joint volume by U. Wilamowitz-Moellendorff and Niese, 11 

 of which Wilamowitz' section on Greek history contains many new touches. A large 

 work on post-Alexandrine Greece is being carried out by Kaerst, 12 whose second volume 

 (1912) deals mainly with the general features of Hellenistic statecraft. The history 

 of the Roman Republic has been rewritten, with some new suggestions as to detail, in 

 a three-volume work by Mr. Heitland. 13 The Roman Empire is discussed in a series of 

 stylish but sketchy essays by v. Domaszewski, 14 and in a discursive yet stimulating dis- 

 quisition by Dr. Bussell. 15 



Athenian history in its constitutional aspect is treated at length in a monograph by 

 de Sanctis, which combines sound learning with venturesome speculation. 16 Later 

 Athenian history is dealt with in a series of acute researches by Kahrstedt, mostly on 

 topics of the fourth century. Hellenistic Athens is the subject of an important book 

 by Prof. Ferguson, 17 whose information is largely derived from inscriptions skilfully 

 interpreted. The outlines of Spartan history are retraced on an ingenious if not always 

 convincing scheme by Mr. Dickins. 18 Many new contributions have also been made to 

 the study of the Hellenistic states. Chief among these are Jouguet's volume on the 

 municipal government of Egypt under the Ptolemies and the Caesars, 19 and Zucker's 

 essay on jurisdiction in the same country. 20 



The opening chapters of Roman History have been rewritten by Modestov 21 and T. E. 

 Peet, 22 who have put to account the accumulations of archaeological evidence in order to

 recently prepared by the Classical Association.
