Part I surveys earlier developments in the study of language, in particular the Graeco-Roman and Medieval traditions, the Renaissance period, and Judaeo-Arabic scholarship. Part II contains a synopsis in English of Sanctius' Minerva, placing special emphasis on theoretical passages and illustrative data. Part III is devoted to Sanctius' linguistic doctrine: (1) his philosophical approach to language analysi. |
