About the Book

. 1900: ... CHAPTER . If the Ablative is the "with "case and the Genitive the "of case, then it is natural that we should feel the relation between an Ablative of Quality and a Genitive of Quality modifying the same noun to be substantially identical with that which subsists between the ideas of "with " and "of," the former relating the quality to its noun in the guise of something appearing with the noun, an attendant quality of circumstance; the latter in the guise of something belonging to the noun, its permanent or essential attribute.

In Plautus the Ablative alone is common; whether expressing so transitory a quality as a moment's good courage, Amph. 671 Bono animo es; a passing shade of bodily expression, Asin. 401 tristi fronte, quassanti capite, or so permanent and inalterable a quality as the shape of the nose, color of the eyes, Capt. 647 macilento ore, naso acuto, corpore albo, oculis nigris; the stature, Peen. 1112 Statura hau magna, or the degree of one's birth, Cist. 130 sicyone, summo genere. The objection against Kriiger's distinction between a subject thought of "wie er ist" and "wie er sich zeigt" held the ground that it would often amount to a begging of the wh...
