Elementary Greek Translation

Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

Hillard & Botting's Elementary Greek Translatin was designed to accompany the same authors' Elementary Greek Exercises, so that the two books could conveniently be used together and translationbe learned as well as composition.

Designed as an introduction to North and Hillard's Greek Prose Composition. Presents simple vocabulary and elementary forms of sentence construction. English-Greek, Greek-English exercises.

From the introduction: "When I took New Testament Greek in graduate school, the translation activity I found most helpful was having the Greek text before me and writing in the words underneath on a fresh sheet of paper. However, no workbook was available that had the text laid out easily in big, spacious pages where I could take notes in the margin and make it work for me. So, I created my own, and the following is what I built as an expanded version to share with others. This workbook contains the full Greek text from 1 John, 2 John, 3 John, chapter 1 of the Gospel of John, and chapter 1 of the Gospel of Mark. It mostly follows the form of The Greek New Testament, 4th Edition edited by Aland et. al. The text is larger than normal printings, and plenty of space has been provided in the margins. Moreover, verses are divided into multiple lines with phrases separated as much as possible. In this way, you can work through it in small, logical chunks. I have also included several blank pages at the end for the user's additional notes."
