Abstract
In this article, I discuss a grammar dispute that took place between Philipp Nicodemus Frischlin and Martin Crusius in
Tübingen in the winter of 1585/1586. I argue that their diverging views on the ablative case reflect a disagreement on two levels, in
addition to their obvious personal rivalry: (1) the foundations of grammar, which Frischlin based on meaning rather than form, following
J. C. Scaliger, and (2) contrasting attitudes toward the Greek people and heritage. Additionally, I discuss Frischlin’s views on the
article and the optative mood, while also tracing a popular misquote from Scaliger’s work to Frischlin.
期刊介绍:
Historiographia Linguistica (HL) serves the ever growing community of scholars interested in the history of the sciences concerned with language such as linguistics, philology, anthropology, sociology, pedagogy, psychology, neurology, and other disciplines. Central objectives of HL are the critical presentation of the origin and development of particular ideas, concepts, methods, schools of thought or trends, and the discussion of the methodological and philosophical foundations of a historiography of the language sciences, including its relationship with the history and philosophy of science. HL is published in 3 issues per year of about 450 pages altogether.
