Recenzii
Foundations of Old Prussian: Philology and Linguistics is the most comprehensive reference work ever published on Old Prussian, the only Western Baltic language known to us by written texts. Closely related to Lithuanian and Latvian, Old Prussian was spoken until the 17th century in East Prussia, around the city of Königsberg, and survives through a small number of texts. This book provides authoritative treatment of the language and its cultural environment by leading Balticist Pietro U. Dini, throwing light on its main linguistic structures and outlining the specific features of its written documentation.
Building on the achievements of earlier research, Foundations of Old Prussian: Philology and Linguistics offers an up-to-date and comprehensive overview of Old Prussian, the most enigmatic of the Baltic languages. The novelty of the author's approach consists in a masterly combination of strictly philological and grammatical information with extra-linguistic (historical and cultural) background.
In the local area of Central-Eastern Europe persists an ecolinguistic problem related to the gradual disappearance of local languages. In the Late Middle Ages and Early Modern Period, the Curonian, Prussian and Yatvingian languages became extinct. The fate of the Western Baltic languages is currently faced by the Belarusian language, which is now in a state of 16th century Prussian. About the disappearance of the "different" Prussian language (Vetus Prutenica, toto genere ab aliis Europæis diver?a) was European society alarmed by J.A. Komenský in 1648. Pietro U. Dini's monographic work provides a factual and uniquely detailed introduction to this extinct Baltic language-the Prussian written heritage of the 13th-16th centuries-and through it, to the tragic linguistic transformation of the region.
Unparalleled in scope, the strongest feature of Foundations of Old Prussian: Philology and Linguistics is the balance between linguistic data and textual-cultural information on this extinct Baltic language and nation. I highly recommend P. U. Dini's book to specialists and students of Baltic, Slavic, Indo-European, and textual studies.
