Guide to Old Literary Yiddish - Frakes, Jerold C. (SUNY Distinguished Professor, SUNY Distinguished Professor, Department of English, University at Buffalo)

This book is a comprehensive introductory manual that guides beginners to a functional reading knowledge of late medieval and early modern Yiddish (c.1100-1750). It is the first such manual to exist for that language, whose early literary tradition comprises a range of genres as broad as other contemporary European literary traditions.
