Inhaltsangabe

This book provides a groundbreaking study of the history, form, and usage of punctuation marks in ancient Greek texts. The author argues that the development of punctuation in Greek writing was a gradual process, influenced by both internal and external factors. Internally, the evolution of Greek scripts and the increasing complexity of written texts necessitated the development of a system to aid readers in comprehending the intended meaning of the written language. Externally, the borrowing of punctuation marks from other writing systems, such as Phoenician, also played a role in shaping the development of Greek punctuation. The author meticulously examines the earliest known examples of punctuation in Greek texts, tracing its evolution through various periods and genres of writing. The book offers valuable insights into the development of written communication in the ancient world and provides a comprehensive understanding of the significance of punctuation in the transmission and interpretation of Greek texts.
