    Norreno - Antico islandese: manuale di base è un'introduzione allo studio della lingua norrena, parlata dai popoli scandinavi nel periodo medievale, e per la lettura in originale delle saghe islandesi. Non viene data per acquisita alcuna conoscenza grammaticale pregressa, ed è concepito sia per lo studio autonomo sia sotto la supervisione di un insegnante. Il metodo utilizzato è il cosiddetto metodo "naturale", poco seguito in Italia per lo studio delle lingue antiche, ma molto comune nel Nord-Europa: anziché proporre dense tabelle grammaticali da memorizzare fuori contesto, seguite da una massiccia dose di esercizi composti dagli autori, con il presente metodo, si inizierà immediatamente con la lettura di brani originali dalle saghe islandesi, assieme ad episodi dei miti scandinavi e da altre fonti medievali. Soluzioni su oldnorse.org.La lingua e la mentalità del mondo nordico medievale prendono appunto vita in questi testi. Per le soluzioni agli esercizi, si visiti il sito: www.oldnorse.org. Questo manuale è accompagnato da un eserciziario per il consolidamento delle competenze acquisite: Norreno - Antico islandese: Eserciziario. www.oldnorse.org e juleswilliampress.com

  • - Die Sprache der Wikinger, Runen und islandischen Sagas
    af Jesse L Byock
    423,95 kr.

    Altnordisch 1. Die Sprache der Wikinger, Runen und isländischen Sagas. Fünfzehn inhaltlich aufeinander aufbauenden Lektionen, in denen sich neben altnordischen Textpassagen, Grammatikbaukästen und abwechslungsreich gestalteten Übungen eine umfangreiche Zusammenstellung an Karten, Bildern, Runen, und Begleittexten finden lassen. Außerdem verfügt das Buch über ein vollständiges Wörterverzeichnis, eine ausführliche Kurzgrammatik sowie Hinweise zur (rekonstruierten) Aussprache der altnordischen Sprache. Da sich die Grammatik des Isländischen im Laufe der Jahrhunderte nur geringfügig verändert hat, erleichtern Altnordisch-kenntnisse auch den Zugang zum Neuisländischen. Um den kostenlosen Lösungsschlüssel für die in Altnordisch 1 (www.oldnorse.org/altnordisch/) behandelten Aufgaben zu herunterzuladen besuch uns im Internet. Die einzelnen Lektionen sind der altnordischen bzw. altisländischen Sprache, den Runen, der Geschichte Islands und Skandinaviens, der nordischen Mythologie und der altnordischen Literatur gewidmet. Jede Lektion beschäftigt sich mit ganz bestimmten Aspekten der Sprache, des Lebens und der Kultur der während der Wikingerzeit und im Mittelalter lebenden Menschen. Während sich die ersten beiden Lektionen auf die Besiedlung Islands und Grönlands konzentrieren, wenden sich die daran anschließenden Kapitel anderen Schauplätzen der Wikingerwelt zu; darunter Dänemark, Schweden, Norwegen, den Britischen Inseln, Europa, dem Ostseeraum, Russland, Byzanz und dem Orient. Die Fahrten der Wikinger werden durch eine große Auswahl an Karten veranschaulicht. Alle Lektionen beinhalten Grammatikbaukästen und Übungen. Viking Language 2: The Old Norse Reader (das zweite Buch der Altnordisch-Reihe) taucht noch ein Stück weiter in die Welt der altnordischen/-isländischen Literatur ein.
