Remains of Japhet is a historical inquiry into the origin and affinity of European languages, written by James Parsons and published in 1767. The book explores the linguistic and cultural connections between various European languages, including Greek, Latin, Celtic, and Germanic. Parsons argues that these languages all share a common ancestry, tracing their roots back to the biblical figure Japhet, one of Noah's sons. The book also examines the influence of other languages, such as Hebrew and Arabic, on European languages. Remains of Japhet was a groundbreaking work in the field of linguistics and helped lay the foundation for the study of comparative linguistics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
