A Middle High German Primer
Third Edition
Joseph Wright, the Oxford philologist who began life as a Yorkshire mill boy, wrote a series of primers for students of the older Germanic languages, and this is the third edition of his introduction to Middle High German, the literary language of medieval Germany. The first part is a concise grammar covering sounds and inflections. The second part offers reading texts with notes and a glossary: prose by the preacher Berthold von Regensburg and from the Swabian law book, and verse by Hartmann von Aue, Walther von der Vogelweide, Reinmar, Ulrich von Lichtenstein, Wolfram von Eschenbach and the Nibelungenlied. It is a compact, practical textbook. It is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
