From the library of Jan Kollar (1793-1852), a Slovak writer, archaeologist, scientist, politician, and main ideologist of Pan-Slavism (signed J. Kollar on the title page)."Fundamentals of the Old Dialect of the Slavic Language, i.e. Old Slavonic and Church Slavonic": This is the first edition of a groundbreaking work on the Old Church Slavonic language by Josef Dobrovsky (1753-1829), a Czech philologist, historian, and key figure in the establishment of comparative Slavic linguistics. With detailed analysis of grammar, vocabulary, and syntax, Dobrovský offers a comprehensive resource for understanding this important language and its role in shaping Slavic culture. The book is divided into three parts: word formation (De vocum formatione); bending of words (De vocum flexione), encompassing the declension of nouns and adjectives, the conjugation of verbs, and an analysis of the wording of the Our Father prayer; and syntax (De vocum constructione). Preceding the text is an introduction dealing with phonetics and graphics. The text is followed by an anthology of fifteen extracts from Church Slavonic manuscripts. At the end, Slovene linguist and philologist Jernej Kopitar (1780-1844), who oversaw the publication of the book, added a supplement with up-to-date knowledge obtained through correspondence from colleagues. The volume includes 4 engraved plates featuring Cyrillic and Glagolitic alphabets. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 009001
