Excerpt from A Discussion of the Latin Prohibitive: Based Upon a Complete Collection of the Instances From the Earliest Times to the End of the Augustan Period

This paper owes its origin to a feeling the writer has long had that certain uses of the Latin perfect subjunctive are very inadequately and, in some particulars, very inaccurately treated in Latin grammars. It is customary, for instance, in dealing with ne and the 2d person subjunctive in prohibitions, to dismiss the subject with the statement that when the prohibition is addressed to no definite person, the present tense is used; otherwise the perfect. All attempts - like Gildersleeve's,' for instance - to make any further distinction between the tenses have been frowned down. Scholars in general have been inclined to accept the views of Madvig (Opusc. acad. altera, p. 105) and of Weissen-born (on Livy 21, 44, 6) as final, viz. that the perfect is used, when a definite person is addressed, only because the present cannot be used. The reason for this remarkable state of things they do not trouble themselves to seek. Even Schmalz, in the second edition of his Lat. Synt., §31, would have it understood that the perfect tense in this use has no special significance. Such ignoring of all distinction between tenses is common also in other constructions, e. g. in the so-called potential subjunctive.
