An Introduction to Old Spanish: A Guide to the Study of the History of Spanish with Selected Readings (American University Studies) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Here is a manual for scholars of Old Spanish that departs from tradition in that it guides the reader through a minimal (and painless) course in the fundamentals of linguistics and Latin before discussing the evolution of Latin to Spanish. It also includes an excellent selection of early and medieval texts that clearly demonstrate the process of change that took place as the language of Caesar became Spanish.

Review
«This work offers a fresh and eminently clear treatment of Old Spanish. It will facilitate study because of its skillful presentation of original manuscripts together with well written explanatory material. The exercises for classroom use are pedagogically sound.» (Russel W. Peterson, Tarleton State University, Emeritus)
«For the student of Spanish without a background in linguistics and Latin, this volume is ideal. Within the covers of this single volume are introductions to de scriptive linguistics, Classical and Vulgar Latin, the phonology and grammar of Old Spanish, and a selection of readings in Old Spanish, each selection followed by notes and exercises. This book will ease the teacher's job.» (James L. Wyatt, Florida State University)
«Manuale limpido nella sua impostazione, essenziale nelle informazioni che comunica. Traccia una linea di sviluppo dal latino all'antico spagnolo, fornendo poi di questo un'eccellente scelta antologica. Dal punto di vista didattico, il volumetto rappresenta una creazione ideale per un'introduzione nella linguistica diacronica.» (R.D.C., Salesianum)
