Philology

study of language in written historical sources

13 dated entries naming Philology, drawn from 13 separate years between 257 BCE and 1211 CE. Nothing here is written by us: each line is the sentence a Wikipedia year article used, and the link beside it opens the exact revision.

Also written as Philologist in the source articles; Wikipedia redirects those to the same subject, so their entries are on this page.
