I know that Winer and Buttmann are both from the 19th century too. Perhaps
Winer (4 vol)
has been reprinted? I think that While Winer is still used, I was not even
able to find the exact
bibliographic data for Buttmann (with place and publisher), in which I would
be interested in.
Has anybody the information on Buttmanns Grammar at hand?
