A Middle High German Primer / Third Edition

A practical introduction to Middle High German that presents pronunciation, phonology, and a systematic grammar alongside graded reading passages with notes and a glossary. It surveys vowel and consonant systems and sound changes, sets out noun declensions, adjective comparison, pronouns, verb classes, and syntax, and supplies paradigms, examples, and exercises. Selections from medieval poets and annotated texts provide practice in reading original materials, while editorial notes and bibliographic pointers guide further study. The revised edition expands the grammatical exposition and adds texts so beginners acquire the core tools needed to approach more advanced reference works and editions.
