Indispensible for an Old English Student,
By "bjorn_raven" (Warsaw Poland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sweet's Anglo-Saxon Primer (Paperback)
It is an indispensible resource for anyone willing (or made) to learn Old English. Besides providing some texts for reading together with the glossary (rather typical for a primer, eh?) it also has a section (comprising HALF of the whole volume!) on grammar, which I find especially good. It is on par with a classic such as Quirk's "Old English Grammar", the major difference being only in the phonology section. Overall, a very good buy - my only reservation is that there could be more texts... I am hard to satisfy.

A Staple in Anglo Saxonists' and Students Libraries,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sweet's Anglo-Saxon Primer (Paperback)
Norman Davis' revision of Henry Sweet's Anglo-Saxon Primer has often been overlooked by those who teach and those who would learn the elements of Old English. As a textbook, Sweet's Anglo-Saxon Primer provides basic knowledge of Anglo Saxon that enables its readers to access the larger corpus of Old English material. Although a "condensed" grammar and reader, it is nonetheless highly useful. Its reissue attests to that fact.

This review is from: Sweet's Anglo-Saxon Primer (Paperback)
Good Book, but you need to know French, German, and Latin to follow it.
