Part of the Advanced Language Series, this is a revised edition of "The Greek Dialects" published by Chicago
University Press in 1955. Its virtues were comparative
clarity and conciseness on a subject too often treated, for example by
contemporary work in German, with prolixity and obscurity. It became
the standard scholarly introduction and reference work on questions of
dialect; and though much valuable additional work has been done on the
subject since its appearance, it largely retains its original virtues
and still provides a valuable starting point of reference.
