Old Church Slavonic Grammar Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the standard classic grammar in English for Old Church Slavonic. The work is short (143 pages) but well organized and nicely setup. The charts of declensions and conjugations are clean and well done. The discussion of points is brief, but all are illustrated with specific examples.
This is designed to be a short reference grammar for the Old Church Slavonic language itself, not a comparative study or tool. This is a helpful tool for those studying Old Church Slavonic. If your interest is liturgical, the better choice in English is Father Shaw's translation of Gamanovich's Grammar of liturgical Church Slavonic.
