Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
This is another classic contribution by Braune and Fischer to the
field of biomechanics. The pendulum method was employed to
ascertain ac curately the moments and radii of inertia of the human
body and its different parts about all axes - transverse, oblique
or longitudinal. This elegant method is described in detail,
together with the results. Relations were found between the centres
of inertia on one hand and the lengths and diameters of the body
segments on the other. These data were originally prepared for the
authors' later work, The Human Gait, to determine the forces
exerted on and by the parts of the body during walking. Such work
is the basis for solving the mechanical prob lems related to any
movement of the human body: thus, the original results presented
here continue to be of im mense value to current research and
practice. Aywaille, May 1988 P. Maquet v Contents Introduction . .

The different chapters of the present book were published
separately each as a complete entity in the Proceedings of the
Royal Saxon Society for Sciences. Chapter 1 appeared in 1895 under
the names of Wilhelm Braune and Otto Fischer although Braune died
immediately after the initial experiments, before the recordings
had been interpreted. Chapters 2-6 were signed by Fischer only and
appeared in 1899, 1900, 1901, 1903 and 1904. Basic data needed for
this investigation of the human gait had been provided previously.
A research on the centre of gravity ofthe human body and its
different segments by both authors was published in 1889,
determination of the moments of inertia of the human body and its
segments in 1892. So far only the fIrst of these two works has been
published in English. The other has been translated and awaits
publication. Springer-Verlag must be congratulated for the quality
of this edition and for the care they took in reproducing the
original fIgures. This was certainly no easy task. We thank them
for the patience they displayed towards the translators.
Publication of the present book was made possible fInancially by
Prof. M. Muller, Bern. We are grateful to him for his generosity
and so will be the scientifIc community.
Jetzt in der 16. Auflage verfugbar. Die "Althochdeutsche Grammatik"
von Wilhelm Braune hat sich seit uber 100 Jahren als
unentbehrliches Hilfsmittel der germanistischen Forschung und Lehre
bewahrt. Sie wurde zuletzt 1975 von Hans Eggers neu bearbeitet (fur
die 14. Auflage von 1987 begnugte sich Eggers mit einer Revision).
Fur die Neuauflage der Laut- und Formenlehre wurde die umfangreiche
Forschungsliteratur der vergangenen 30 Jahre in Phonologie und
Morphologie verarbeitet, die vor allem im Bereich der Phonologie
vielfach zu neuen Erklarungen und Bewertungen fuhrte, die zwar
nicht immer ubernommen, aber so weit moeglich referiert wurden.
Braunes Text wurde, vor allem in der Terminologie, vorsichtig
modernisiert. Das bewahrte Konzept (und auch das -Gerust) wurde
beibehalten. An Braunes Zielsetzung, Studienbuch und
Forschungsgrammatik (Referenzgrammatik) zu verbinden, wurde so weit
moeglich festgehalten.
This is a completely revised version of the 20-year-old "Grammar of
Gothic." The new edition upholds its allegiance to the dual
function of the original as a study grammar for academic learning
and a reference work for ongoing research. Two aims are central:
clear and complete presentation of the facts and a comprehensive
documentation of the relevant research with specific reference to
language history. Formally, the volume has undergone extensive
revision. The grammar itself has been brought up to date, in line
with the latest research on the subject.
