This book chronicles the history and development of the field of comparative philology, beginning with the work of Franz Bopp, considered the founder of the discipline. It provides an overview of how scholars have sought to explain the similarities and differences among Indo-European languages, primarily by comparing their forms and postulating a common origin. The author highlights significant theories and controversies that have shaped the field, including Bopp's influential theory on the origins of inflection. The book also examines the methodological debates and shifts in perspective that have characterized the evolution of comparative philology, offering insights into the development of linguistic science as a whole.
