Excerpt from Old Spanish Readings: Selected on the Basis of Critically Edited Texts This book is intended to facilitate thestudy of the develop ment of the Spanish language in the earlier period of its history. As scholars know, it is unfortunately the case that many of the Old Spanish monuments have been published by editors who modernized their aspect. For scientific purposes their editions are, of course, very unsatisfactory. Therefore, in the present instance, care has been taken to print selections from editions which do not deform the historical conditions of the language. In the Introduction the inore elementary matters of Spanish phonology are treated. The Notes are concerned with both linguistic and literary subjects. The Vocabulary has been made as complete as possible, and, in the discussion of certain points, supplements the N otes. Much yet remains to be done in the way of verifying the etyma of Spanish words, the Vocabulary. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
