- This book offers fresh perspectives on the debate about Latin grammarians’ writing about the Latin accent: should they be dismissed as copying mindlessly from Greek sources? It focusses on understanding the grammarians on their own terms. Careful examination of Greek and Latin grammatical texts illuminates both Greek grammatical theory on prosody and its interpretation in the Latin tradition. This book exploits the author’s expertise on ancient Greek thought on Greek accentuation, and combines this with an understanding of the Latin grammatical tradition on prosody, which she developed to a new level specifically to write this book.
