Old Icelandic: An Introductory Course

There are, generally speaking, two types of students of Old Icelandic: those are interested primarily as linguists and those interested as literary scholars. "Old Icelandic" is designed to serve the needs of both. Their needs, however, are – to a degree – incompatible. But the groundwork for either scholar is the language itself, and "Old Icelandic" will give any student a systematic and thorough introduction to Classical Old Icelandic, the language of the thirteenth century sagas. Following this comprehensive introduction to the language, the student will be well prepared for more specialized study, whether in literature or linguistics.
