About This Item
Some tanning of the spine and cover and a very little age-darkening, but all pages tight, clean, complete and unmarked except for a couple of neat pencil marks; bears signature of Prof. Kenneth M. Setton of the Princeton Institute of Advanced Study and "Aθηναι (except with correct diacritics) 1960."
A hard-to-find work on the specialized and difficult subject of good English translations of idiomatic Modern Greek.
Includes examples, idiom lists, translation samples, annotated translation exercises, examination papers and some historical discussion of the Demotic/Katharevousa spectrum. Some of the discussion may seem a little dated to the modern reader, but Katharevousa runs deep in the modern language, and some knowledge of it is essential to reading a variety of authors.
This is the revised reprint of 1954. Generally intended for Greek students preparing for University of Cambridge Local Examinations.
