THE request has frequently been made by teachers and
students who have used the author’s Handbook to the
Grammar of the Greek Testament for a Primer or Sum-
mary which might serve as an introduction to the larger
work, and as an easy help to beginners in the language.
The following pages are designed to meet the demand.
The Primer contains an outline of the Grammar, both
in Etymology and Syntax, sufficient for the earlier stages
of the study, with graduated Exercises from the hegin-
ning, and the needful Vocabularies. The rules of Syntax
are given, for the most part, as they are wanted for the
Exercises ; and the most important of them are sum-
marised in order at the close of the book.
It is recommended that, as each section is mastered,
the Exercises should be carefully written, and the accom-
panying Vocabulary committed to memory. For the
most part, a Greek word once given is omitted in the
succeeding Vocabularies; while at the end a general
Vocabulary to all the Exercises, Greek-English and Eng-
lish-Greek, is given. References, where it seemed neces-
sary, are made throughout to the further explanations
of the Handbook, the study of which, especially in the
Syntax, should follow the use of this Primer.
The examples in the Exercises are mostly taken from
the Gospel of St. Luke and the Epistle to the Philippians,
in order to concentrate the learner's first Greek Testa-
ment studies on specific portions of the sacred book,
It is recommended that this Gospel and Epistle should
first be read, after the Primer has been mastered.
