First edition of 10th-century compendium of grammatical lore,
second only in importance to AElfric's own Grammar. When the famous
Anglo-Saxon scholar AElfric wrote the first grammar in a European
vernacular, he used as his direct source the Excerptiones de
Prisciano excerpts from major curriculum authors of the medieval
schools, including Donatus, Isidore and Priscian himself . The
tenth-century text, probably of English origin, most probably
compiled by AElfric, is an ambitious compendium of grammatical
lore, and it is, with the exception of AElfric's own Grammar,
arguably the most sophisticated Latin-learning text of the
Anglo-Saxon age. Edited here for the first time,the Excerptiones
appear with all scholia, an English translation, and a full
contextual introduction. DAVID W. PORTER is Professor of English,
Southern University, Baton Rouge.
