Abstract EN:
The work consists of a translation with commentary of the techne grammatike ascribed to dionysius thrax (2nd c. B. C. ), the earliest grammar of the greco-latin tradition which has been handed down to us. In the introduction (p. 13-39), the techne is situated in the intellectual context of its origin and the problem of its datation is investigated; the hypothesis of a late compilation is accepted, but a qualified version of di benedetto's thesis is proposed. Then follow (p. 41-65), facing each other, uhlig's greek text and its french translation. The commentary (p. 69-251) is intended to make this grammar of the greek language understandable to modern readers unacquainted with greek. Explanations and interpretations are to a large extent inspired by the tradition of greek grammar itself: apollonius dyscolus, choeroboscos, the scholia to the techne, mostly. The book ends with a list of (71) bibliographical references and an almost exhaustive index verborum (based on the french translation).

Abstract FR:
Le travail consiste en une traduction abondamment annotee de la techne grammatike attribuee a denys le thrace (2e s avant j. C. ), premier manuel de grammaire connu dans la tradition greco-latine. Une introduction (p. 13-39) situe l'ouvrage dans son milieu intellectuel d'origine et expose le probleme de sa datation. L'hypothese d'une datation basse est retenue, mais la these de di benedetto n'est acceptee qu'avec des reserves et des nuances. Suivent (p. 41-65) le texte grec (celui de l'edition uhlig 1883) et, en regard, la traduction. Les notes (p. 69-251) visent a rendre cette grammaire du grec accessible a des lecteurs non hellenistes. Outre les eclaircissements indispensables, elles proposent des interpretations- les uns et les autres abondamment inspires des oeuvres classiques de la tradition grammaticale grecque: apollonius dyscole, choeroboscos, les scholies a la techne. L'ouvrage se termine par une bibliographie (p. 253-258) et par un index presque exhaustif etabli sur la traduction francaise (p. 259-281).
