Document Details : Title: Rev. R.H. Robins, The Byzantine Grammarians Author(s): SWIGGERS, P. , WOUTERS, A. Journal: Orbis Volume: 40 Date: 1998 Pages: 341-345 DOI: 10.2143/ORB.40.1.505067 Abstract : Until very recently Byzantine grammarians did not enjoy a good press: they were almost unanimously considered mere compilators of the ancient grammatical tradition, showing little or no originality. As an example one could quote GUDEMAN’s statement (1916: 1749) on John GLYKYS: “Originalität auf dem Gebiete der Syntax wird man bei einem Byzantiner des 13. Jhdts. nicht erwarten”. This negative judgement of the Byzantine grammarians was echoed in recent times by BLANK (1987: 67). |
