Second completely revised edition of Bopp's important work on the major Indo-European languages. In this work Bopp tries to describe the original grammatical structure of languages, discover their phonetic laws, and investigate the origin of their grammatical forms. "Bopp's importance lies in the fact that he was no mere grammarian but considered philology to be an essential part of the history of civilization: out of their vocabulary he drew an accurate picture of the material and intellectual life of the earliest Indo-European people."
