This 1938 edition of Antoine Meillet’s seminal work is a monumental pillar of 20th-century philology, representing the most popular and influential treatise by the great French linguist. The text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of the historical development of the Indo-European family, including the arrangement of the reconstructed "Proto-Indo-European" language. Meillet (1866–1936), a titan of comparative linguistics, focuses on two primary objectives: explaining the preservation of "strong" and anomalous archaic forms across daughter languages and providing a systematic overview of the linguistic material that forms the bedrock of historically documented tongues.
The volume is based on the final, 7th French edition, significantly enhanced for the Soviet academic audience with notes by the prominent linguist Rozaliya Shor and an introductory article by M. Sergievsky. This 1938 imprint captures the high standard of Soviet academic publishing in the late 1930s, featuring a solid hardcover design by A. Lavrov. Spanning 511 pages, it covers the breadth of Meillet’s expertise, from Slavic and Indo-Iranian studies to Latin, Greek, and Armenian linguistics. For bibliophiles, historical linguists, and collectors of academic classics, this Moscow-Leningrad publication is a vital primary source, documenting the systematic dissemination of Western European structural and comparative methodology within the Russian linguistic tradition.
