Due to its originality and rigorous analysis this book is destined to occupy a distinct place among the recent works in Latin linguistics. <em>Journal of Historical Linguistics</em>


The book is exceptionally user-friendly: the layout is very pleasant It is an admirable work and one must congratulate not only Renato Oniga and Norma Schifano, but also Oxford University Press on publishing the text. Graecolatina Pragensia
