I have just posted Adolf Deissman's article, "Hellenistic Greek" on my NT
Resources site; it is in Adobe Acrobat .pdf format (about 30K) and is
linked from this sub-page:
<http://faculty.bbc.edu/rdecker/nt_gram.htm>
The article comes from *The New Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious
Knowledge,* ed. Samuel Macauley Jackson, 5:211-15. New York: Funk and
Wagnalls, 1909. [Copyright has expired.] This appears to be an abridgement
of an earlier article by Deissmann printed in the *Realencyklopädie für
protestantische Theologie und Kirche* (3d ed., 1899; 7:627-39). (A
translation of this earlier article may be found in *The Language of the
New Testament: Classic Essays,* ed. S. E. Porter, 39-59. JSNTSupp, 60.
Sheffield: Sheffield Academic Press, 1991.)
Although our knowledge of the papyri hasn't stood still since 1909,
Deissmann was an early pioneering scholar in this field. This article
summarizes much of his work in that area and deserves to be read.
If you already have Schaff-Herzog or the Realencyklopädie, you don't need
this article. But if not, I've made it available for online reference.
