The Development of Greek and the New Testament
Morphology, Syntax, Phonology, and Textual Transmission
Baker Publishing Group · Print & ebook · January 1, 2007
The introduction of the Erasmian pronunciation in 1528 had two dire consequences: Greek was divided into ancient and modern - a division that led to the neglect of the later periods of the language, and the pronunciation applied made impossible the detection of many communicatory aspects and obscured many text-critical problems.
