German
classic NT Greek grammar that we designate as BDF (Blass-Debrunner-Funk).
I am hoping that this Hellenistic Grammar, when it appears, will
encompass a much broader range of Hellenistic literature than the NT and
patristic
writers alone and will therefore better relate NT Greek usage to the
Greek
usage of non-Biblical authors of the era. >>

Carl, I know that you view this forthcoming grammar as a great
desideratum, but have you considered the merits of this text:

"Greek: A Course in Classical & Post-Classical Greek Grammar from
Original Texts" by Gunther Zuntz and Stanley E. Porter
ISBN: 1850753415
Publisher: Sheffield Academic Press, Limited
Publish Date: 11/01/1994
Binding: Hardcover , 1152 pages 
List Price: 103.49 (at CBD)

If you have considered its merits (or demerits), will you tell us all
about them?

Yours in His grace,
