Vergleichende Grammatik der slavischen Sprachen - Volume 3

A Slovenian citizen of the Austro-Hungarian Empire Franz Miklosich (181391) studied at the University of Graz before moving to Vienna in 1838. Indo-European philology was a growing area for research and in 1844 Miklosich reviewed Bopp''s Comparative Grammar (also reissued in this series) and embarked upon extending the comparative method across the whole Slavonic language family. Miklosich''s work marked a watershed in Slavonic studies; in 1849 he became Austria''s first professor of Slavonic philology. His publications included editions of historical sources; work on loan words place names and Romany dialects; a dictionary of Old Church Slavonic; and an etymological dictionary of the Slavonic languages (1886 also available). His four-volume comparative grammar of the Slavonic languages (originally published 185274 updated reprints 187583) was one of his most influential works. Volume 3 (1856 reissued in the 1876 second edition) describes the declension of nouns and the conjugation of verbs in each language.
