L.Miraglia and T.F.Bórri’s Italian edition ofAthenaze.We are grateful to these teachers and professors and also to the fol-lowing,who read versions of the revised edition at various stages,offered in-numerable helpful suggestions,and caught many errors,typographical andother:Elizabeth Baer of the Berkshire Country Day School,Jessica Mix Bar-rington of the Northfield Mount Hermon School,James Johnson of AustinCollege,Cynthia King of Wright State University,Rosemary Laycock ofDalhousie University,Mark Riley of California State University at Sacra-mento,Kolbeinn Sæmundsson of the Menntask6linní Reykjavík,and RexWallace of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.Thanks also go toLatin teachers in Sunday afternoon Greek classes who used preliminaryversions of the revised chapters and made many useful observations.  \nThe new features of the revised textbooks include the following:  \n·Short passages from Classical and New Testament Greek in virtuallyevery chapter  \n·A strand titled Greek Wisdom,with sayings of the seven wise men of Ar-chaic Greece at various points throughout Book I and fragments of Hera-clitus at various points throughout Chapters 18-28 in Book II(Greek Wis-dom in Chapter 29 contains material on Socrates)  \n·Some rearrangement of the sequence in which grammar is introduced,sothat the future tense and the passive voice are now introduced in Book Iand the first three principal parts of verbs are now listed from Chapter 10,with full sets of principal parts being given in Book II,as before  \n·Fuller grammatical and linguistic explanations throughout,includingmaterial on accents provided along the way,as needed for completing ex-ercises accurately  \n·New,descriptive terminology used for the tenses of verbs  \n·Many new exercises,including periodic requests for students to photocopyblank Verb Charts at the ends of Books I and II and to fill in forms of re-quested verbs,adding new forms as they are learned  \n·New insertions in Book I titled PRACTICE,requesting that students writeout sets of nouns or sets of nouns and matching adjectives  \n·Presentation of most of the new grammar by Chapter 28 and consolidationof the extracts from Thucydides and Aristophanes'Acharnians in the lasttwo chapters,29 and 30  \nThe purposes of the course remain as they were in the first edition,as theyare spelled out in the Introduction.We hope that inclusion of Classical andNew Testament passages will","cbCaiiSR6Pf9qQkb","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiSR6Pf9qQkb","pdf",16722854,3,1,386,"English","en",105,"#
