Makaev's "The Language of the Oldest Runic Inscriptions" was published in 1965. The present translation into English makes this important contribution to runic and Germanic linguistic scholarship available at last to the scholarly world at large, not merely as the subject of historiographical interest, but as a still valid appeal to runologists everywhere to abandon the wild and unfounded speculations so rampant in runological studies and to adopt a more scientific approach to these most ancient of all Germanic texts, in keeping with the advances in comparative and historical linguistics.

Preface de Jean Pierre Vernant. Paris, Seuil 1989, cm.11x18, pp.214, (14), broché. Coll.Points. Essais. " C'est un des livres les plus beaux que je connaisse sur ce sujet, un livre extraordinaire et que je cite souvent. " Umberto Eco " Maurice Olender suggère de nouvelles directions de recherches sur les premières théories du langage et de l'histoire du monde, aussi bien que sur celles de la fin du XVIIIe et du XIXe siècle. Il nous fournit le modèle d'une analyse historique qui rende raison des formes aussi bien que les contenus de systèmes intellectuels complexes. " Anthony Grafton " Telle est l'ahurissante histoire de la philologie comparée du XIXe siècle intimement liée à l'histoire des religions. Maurice Olender la raconte en en respectant toute la complexiité et les contradictions. " Jacques Le Goff " Si j'ai aimé le livre de Maurice Olender, c'est qu'il montre très bien comment des hommes de science, de la meilleure foi du monde, ont pu se tromper. " Jean Starobinski Couronné par l'Académie française en 1990, ce livre est traduit en douze langues.

A cura di Giada Mattarucco. Prefazione di Maria Antionietta Grignani. Firenze, Accademia della Crusca 2008, cm.16x24, pp.CCXXX,452, brossura. Collana Grammatiche e Lessici Pubblicati dall' Accademia della Crusca, Contiene la ristampa anastatica dell'edizione di Roma 1717. Il commediografo senese Girolamo Gigli scrisse il "Vocabolario cateriniano" per sostenere il modello linguistico di Santa Caterina e, più in generale, di Siena, satireggiando pesantemente i fiorentini e soprattutto l'Accademia della Crusca. Oggi la Crusca stessa pubblica quest'opera in un volume che ripropone l'edizione anastatica della prima edizione del 1717, la trascrizione della parte aggiunta nella seconda edizione, con un'introduzione storico-linguistica, indici analitici e altri apparati critici.

Cambridge University Press 2000, cm.14x21,5, pp.300, brossura copertina figurata a colori. The English Language: A Historical Introduction covers the history of the English language from its prehistoric Indo-European origins to the present day. Assuming no previous knowledge of the subject, Charles Barber describes the nature of language and language change, and presents a history of the English language at different periods, dealing with key topics such as grammar, pronunciation and semantics. Where necessary, he introduces and explains the main theoretical and technical concepts of historical linguistics. There are also chapters on English in the scientific age, English as a world language and the future of the language. Charles Barber uses dozens of familiar texts, including the English of King Alfred, Chaucer, Shakespeare, and Addison, to illustrate the state of the English language through time in a range of contexts. This is a fascinating book for anyone with an interest in language.

K.M. Elisabeth Murray, with a preface by R.W. Burchfield. Yale University Press 1977, cm.16x24, pp.386, legaura editoriale cartonata, sopracoperta figurata. This unique and celebrated biography describes how a largely self-educated boy from a small village in Scotland entered the world of scholarship and became the first editor of the Oxford English Dictionary, and a lexicographer greater by far than Dr. Johnson. It also provides an absorbing account of how the dictionary was written, the personalities of the people working on it, and the endless difficulties which nearly led the whole enterprise being abandoned.
