Summary

Preface to the second edition (2015)

The second, fully revised and reset edition of Reading Greek (2007) consists of two volumes, one of Text and Vocabulary and one of Grammar and Exercises. The fully revised and reset second editions of The Intellectual Revolution and A World of Heroes contain the same selections of authors and follow the same principles as the first editions in the provision of vocabulary and learning vocabulary, and rely on Greek Vocabulary in the same way, but there are two vital differences:

  • all help is given in the order in which it appears in the text;

  • the help now includes extensive grammatical and syntactical notes, together with comment of the sort one would expect to find in an edition of the works in hand.

  • The revision of The Intellectual Revolution was undertaken by Keith Maclennan (Euripides), to whom the Project is (again) most grateful for his care and expertise, and Dr Jones (Thucydides and Plato). Dr Jones is responsible for the final editing.

    My very best thanks go to Professor Colin Leach for work on the proofs and to Cambridge University Press’s Leigh Mueller and Elizabeth Hanlon for the care they took over the editing of this new edition. Thanks also go to Cecilia Mackay for gathering the pictures and permissions.
