Book Overview

Old Saxon Texts is a book written by J. H. Gallee and published in 1894. The book is a collection of Old Saxon texts, which are early medieval writings in the Old Saxon language. The Old Saxon language is a West Germanic language that was spoken in what is now Germany during the Early Middle Ages. The texts in this book include religious and secular works, such as the Heliand, a poem that retells the life of Jesus in a Germanic context, and the Genesis, a retelling of the biblical story of creation. The book includes an introduction that provides an overview of the Old Saxon language and its literary tradition, as well as a brief analysis of each of the texts included in the book. The book is a valuable resource for scholars of Old Saxon literature and Germanic languages, as well as for anyone interested in the cultural and linguistic history of medieval Europe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
