Download or read book Foundations of Old Prussian written by Pietro U. Dini and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Old Prussian language has always puzzled linguists. While other Baltic languages, such as Lithuanian and Latvian, have remained in use to the present day, Old Prussian was extinguished at the beginning of eighteenth century, and the extant Old Prussian linguistic corpus is quite limited in scope. Drawing on two bilingual vocabularies and three Lutheran Catechisms (as well as onomastic evidence and several other minor texts), this work critically explores the linguistic and historiographical contours of Old Prussian.

Download or read book Studies in Old Prussian written by William R. Schmalstieg and published by Penn State University Press. This book was released on 1976 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies in Old Prussian remedies the lack of a single source (volume) which critically surveys the entire literature devoted to the subject since the end of World War II. It provides a thorough review of the literature of the origin and history of the Old Prussian people as well as comprehensive review of the recent literature devoted to the morphology and phonology of the language. As a result, this volume has a unique value to students of Old Prussian. Of great importance is the inclusion of a critical analysis of the newly discovered Basel epigram and the new version of Simon Grunau's vocabulary.

Download or read book The Archaeology of the Prussian Crusade written by Aleksander Pluskowski and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-07 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Archaeology of the Prussian Crusade explores the archaeology and material culture of the crusade against the Prussian tribes in the 13th century, and the subsequent society created by the Teutonic Order which lasted into the 16th century. It provides the first synthesis of the material culture of a unique crusading society created in the south-eastern Baltic region over the course of the 13th century. It encompasses the full range of archaeological data, from standing buildings through to artefacts and ecofacts, integrated with written and artistic sources. The work is sub-divided into broadly chronological themes, beginning with a historical outline, exploring the settlements, castles, towns and landscapes of the Teutonic Order’s theocratic state and concluding with the role of the reconstructed and ruined monuments of medieval Prussia in the modern world in the context of modern Polish culture. This is the first work on the archaeology of medieval Prussia in any language, and is intended as a comprehensive introduction to a period and area of growing interest. This book represents an important contribution to promoting International awareness of the cultural heritage of the Baltic region, which has been rapidly increasing over the last few decades.

Download or read book Baltica Balto Slavica written by Frederik Herman Henri Kortlandt and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2009 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers a discussion of the phonological, accentological and morphological development of the Baltic languages and their Indo-European origins. The first half of this book is about Baltic historical phonology and morphology and the second half is about Prussian. The emphasis is on the relative chronology of sound changes and on the development of the flexional and derivational categories of nouns, pronouns and verbs. It is argued that the Balto-Slavic acute tone was a glottal stop which developed from the Indo-European laryngeals and from Winter's law and that the original circumflex continues other vocalic sequences. Special points of attention are the gen.pl. endings, ē and ī/jā stems, and thematic and athematic present endings. The second half of the book contains a comparative analysis of the three Prussian catechisms, resulting in the conclusion that they represent three consecutive stages of a real linguistic system. It includes a discussion of the Prussian accent shift, initial vowels, diphthongs, infinitives, verb classes, participles and traces of ablauting paradigms. The final part of the book offers a full linguistic interpretation of the three Prussian catechisms on the basis of the preceding chapters, followed by a list of references and a word index. The book is of interest to Balticists, Slavicists, Indo-Europeanists, and other historical linguists.

Download or read book A History of Prussia written by H.W. Koch and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-10-13 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In little more than two centuries Prussia rose from medieval obscurity and the devastation of the Thirty Years War to become the dominant power of continental Europe. Her rulers rose from Electors to Kings, and from Kings to Emperors. It is a dramatic story, and H. W. Koch fills a major gap in English-language literature with this comprehensive account. It traces the origins and rise of the Prussian state from the thirteenth century to the causes and consequences of its incorporation into the German Empire.
