A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

A nglo-S axon Language, as well as its literature, holds unquestionably a rank inferior to the ancient Scandinavian, in respect both of intrinsic excellence, and of interest and importance, at least to the inhabitants of the North. It belongs to another, though nearly allied, family, namely, the Teutonic; it has a simpler structure, and fewer inflections, thereby discovering itself to be a younger or, at least, more mixed, and less original, language and consequently bears a less degree of value in an etymological point of view. In its literature, we vainly seek for an Edda ), a Njala a), a Heims) There are two works bearing this title: 1) Edda Saemitndar hins Fr6S a, a Collection of the oldest Scandinavian, songs, mythological and heroic. It has been twice published entire, viz. at Stockholm, 1818 in 8vo, by A. A. A fzelius, after the text of Rask, and at Copenhagen, in 3vol. 4to 1787 1828; with a Latin translation, notes, vocabularies Sfc.
