Wright, J: Middle High-German Primer - James Wright

. .

Résumé :
Excerpt from A Middle High-German Primer: With Grammar, Notes, And Glossary

The present book has been written in the h0pe that it will serve as an elementary introduction to the larger German works on the subject from which I have appropriated what ever seemed necessary for the purpose. In the grammar much aid has be: 11 derived from Paul's Mittelhochdeutsche Grammatik, and edit. Halle, 1884, and Weinhold's Mittel hochdeutsche Grammatik, and edit. Paderborn, 1883. The former work, besides containing by far the most complete syntax,. Is also the only Middle high-german grammar which is based on the present state of German philology.

Those who wish to acquire a sound historical knowledge of the modern phase of the language ought to possess Professor Brandt's Grammar of the German Language, published by Putnam's Sons, New York and London, 1884. It may not be out of place to state here also that an Old high-german Primer is already in the hands of the printers, which will help to throw much light upon manyv points of Middle high-german grammar that could not be touched upon in the present book.
