Description

Old Norse - Old Icelandic: Concise Introduction to the Language of the Sagas is a new, modern "primer" for learning to read sagas and Viking myths in their original language. Carefully designed and easy-to-use, this primer teaches grammar and vocabulary in a straightforward way, requiring no previous language knowledge. Suitable for self-learning, in-class use, and distance teaching, students read from the first pages, Old Norse passages from Icelandic sagas as well as episodes from Scandinavian mythology and medieval sources. The language and thought of the Viking Age come alive in these Old Norse reading segments. For a free Answer Key to the exercises, visit: href=www.oldnorse.org>www.oldnorse.org. An additional stand-alone volume entitled, Supplementary Exercises for Old Norse - Old Icelandic augments the exercises found in the lessons of the Old Norse - Old Icelandic: Concise Introduction to the Language of the Sagas. Both volumes are part of the Viking Language Old Norse Icelandic Series by Jules William Press.
