If any of these characters do not display properly, or if the apostrophes and quotation marks in this paragraph appear as garbage, you may have an incompatible browser or unavailable fonts. First, make sure that your browser’s “character set” or “file encoding” is set to Unicode (UTF-8). You may also need to change the default font. Transliteration of all Greek is provided by mouse-hover popups.
The text is taken from the 1912 Cambridge edition of Caius’s Complete Works. The editor’s general introduction says:
In this volume no attempt has been made to produce a facsimile reprint. Even if such a design had been entertained, the great variety of form in which the original editions were issued would have made it impossible to carry out the re-issue with any uniformity. Obvious misprints have been corrected, but where a difference in spelling in the same work or on the same page—e.g. baccalarius, baccalaureus—is clearly due to the varying practice of the writer and not to the printer, the words have been left as they stood in the original. On the other hand the accents in the very numerous Greek quotations have been corrected.
Numbers in the right margin mark the pagination of this 1912 edition. Numbers in parentheses—here shown in the left margin—were printed in the gutter; they probably represent pages or leaves in the 1574 original. The illustration is taken from the same volume, though not the present text.
IOANNIS CAII ANGLI, DE Pronunciatione Græcæ & Latinæ linguæ cum scriptione nova li- bellus.
