Zusammenfassung

"[...] a reliable compendium of all there is known about Latin and Indo-European."
Edgar C. Polomé in: Journal of Indo-European Studies

"Insgesamt handelt es sich bei den Foundations of Latin um eine eindrucksvolle Synthese des sprachgeschichtlichen Wissens zum Lateinischen, die jeder Klassische Philologe mit Gewinn benutzen wird. Erleichtert wird die Benutzung durch mehrere Register und vor allem durch den leicht lesbaren Stil, der oft zu hörenden studentischen Klagen gegenüber arkaner Darbietungsweise sprachhistorischer Arbeiten keinerlei Angriffspunkt bietet."
F. Heberlein in: Gymnasium, 1/2001/ Bd. 108, Heidelberg
