Classicists specializing in the ancient Greek language report the current status and directions of research into archetypes, concepts, and contexts of the ancient philological discipline from a
historical, methodological, and ideological perspective. They consider the ancient scholars at work, the ancient grammarians on the Greek language and linguistic correctness, and ancient
grammar in historical and interdisciplinary context. The topics include Plato's Ion and the origins of scholarship, Aristarchus and allegorical interpretation, whether Alexandrian grammarians
had a sense of history, Latin grammatical manuals in the early Middle Ages, and the imposition of names in ancient grammar and philosophy. Annotation 穢2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
