Description

"Every word that lacks precision in speech
has the potential to bring evidence of ignorance..."
A rare and valuable dictionary by Alexandrinus Ammonius (1st century AD), in its first Greek edition.
Over a thousand words of the Greek language are interpreted and distinguished according to their meaning.

The only surviving works of Ammonius are "On Similar and Different Words" and "On Incoherence", works that share the theme of knowledge of the subtle meanings of the Greek language and the correct - valid use of its words. This edition includes both of these works; the 2nd edition is expanded with an appendix of 88 additional entries.

The back cover depicts the 6 Virtues of Greek Discourse (Hellenism, Clarity, Brevity, Propriety, Elegance, Decorum) opposed to the 6 Vices (Barbarism, Ambiguity, Verbosity, Incoherence, Ill-formed Composition, Indecency).
