Simplification of the Letters of the Alphabet and Method of Teaching Deaf-Mutes to Speak (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Simplification of the Letters of the Alphabet and Method of Teaching Deaf-Mutes to Speak
Several attempts at a translation have been made before now. One was made into Dutch by Dr. C.' Guyot, who with his brother formed the Guyot Library, at the Institution at Groningen, Holland, perhaps the most unrivalled collection of books in existence relating to the education of deaf-mutes and cognate subjects. This translation was never published. M. Weiss, of Munich, was in 1838 occupied with anothef in German. At present a French translation, which, however, is in many parts condensed, is in progress in a monthly journal; and in Spain a reprint of the original, with a historical preface, is shortly to be issued. The present English translation is the outcome of the suggestion of a few friends interested in the matter, who desired to see one made from an original copy in my possession.
Mr. Dixon, of Northampton, himself engaged in the tuition of the deaf,' gratuitously undertook the work, and it is due to him that this should be fully acknowledged, as the publication would not have been otherwise practicable.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating history of deaf education, a field once shrouded in misconception and neglect. It explores a time when the ability of deaf individuals to learn and communicate was doubted, even by renowned philosophers and theologians. The author sheds light on the pioneering work of 16th-century Spanish Benedictine monk Pedro Ponce de Leon, who defied prevailing beliefs by successfully teaching deaf students to speak, read, write, and even master Latin and Greek. The narrative traces the evolution of thought and practice in deaf education, contrasting the traditional focus on oral communication with the emergence of sign language as a legitimate and valuable means of expression. The author examines the societal and legal barriers faced by deaf people, highlighting the gradual shift towards recognizing their capabilities and rights. Through compelling historical accounts and insightful analysis, this book challenges long-held assumptions about deafness and underscores the transformative power of education in unlocking human potential. It serves as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring quest for knowledge and connection, offering a deeper understanding of the complexities and possibilities within the world of deaf education. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
