Synopsis

Excerpt from An Introduction to Early Welsh

I think I must draw up and print outlines of middle-welsh grammar. I cannot well teach without some book, and the beginner is lost in the wilderness of the Grammatical Celtica. His original intention evidently was to publish a mere sketch of the grammar, somewhat like his old-irish Paradigms. But at the suggestion of his friend and colleague, Professor T. F. Tout, he decided to expand the Grammar on the larger and fuller lines of the present volume. At the same time the plan of adding a Reader of excerpts from mediaeval Welsh literature took concrete shape in the course of conversations and correspondence with Dr. Evans. On both these tasks he began to work during the Summer Term of 1907. With what amazing rapidity he must have toiled to have all but completed the work by the end of the following August! Giving up a visit to Germany to which he had long been looking forward, he devoted the whole long vacation to the preparation and printing of his book. At the moment of his death, on the 25th of September, both the Grammar and Reader were in type, and he had read a first, and in some cases a second, proof. Writing to Professor Thurneysen a week before his death, he says that he had then only the notes and vocabulary to add.
