Philology: Study of language in written historical sources
Philology considers both form and meaning in writing, such as text or manuscript, and linguistic expression.
It combines linguistics and literary studies.
Classical philology is the philology of the Greek, Latin and Sanskrit languages.
Any classical language can be studied philologically, and describing a language as "classical" is to imply the existence of a philological tradition associated with it.
