Ethiopic Grammar With Chrestomathy and Glossary (Classic Reprint)

Chrestomathy. When the whole book has been completed, the student will be ready to begin advanced work. He should then procure A. Dillman, Chrestomathia A ethiopica, T. O. Weigel, Lipsiae, 1866, and work through it from beginning to end. After that he ought to be ready for independent work in Ethiopic. Then his chief tools, in addition to texts or manuscripts, will be: A.D illmann, Ethiopic Grammar, second edition by Carl Bezold, translated by James A. Crichton, Williams and Norgate, London, 1907; and A. Dillmann, Lexicon Linguae A ethiopicae cum Indice Latino, T. 0. Weigel, Lipsiae, 1865. The Glossary here appended contains every word necessary for the translation of the exercises in the Grammar andS yntax and of those in the Chrestomathy. The authors object has been to make this book as brief and concise as possible. He warns students against thinking that they can acquire an adequate knowledge of Ethiopic without much memory-work. If the above directions are followed, the author feels that the object for which this book has been prepared will be attained namely, to add to the number of English-speaking students interested in the study of Ethiopic. This preface would be incomplete without a sincere word of thanks to those workers in the Clarendon Press, who, by their care and trained accuracy, have contributed much to the accomplishment of this task.
