About this product

Product Information

Excerpt from Contributions Toward a History of Arabico-Gothic Culture, Vol. 1 My Commentary to the Germanic Laws and Mediaeval Documents has provoked a storm of indignation among those from whose printed conclusions I differ on the basis of documentary evidence. This is only as it should be, and my sole regret is that my critics have used language of such a general character that I am t able to reply to them without being drawn into a discussion of personalities quite beside the point at issue. I am, however, confident that many of my critics will experience a change of heart after becoming acquainted with the sum total of my mediaeval investigations. I ask the reader earnestly to weigh the facts adduced in the present volume. Some of the conclusions arrived at will be apparent at once, while others will become clear later, when a series of volumes still to be published will show how the literary Germanic languages have arisen on a weak Germanic substratum by a sudden influx of Low Latin, Arabic, and ghost words. The second volume will contain a study of the sources of the Old High German Keronian glosses. It will be shown there that they arose from the GraecoLatin glossaries under the influence of Gothic interpretations, which themselves owe their origin to the Graeco-Arabic learning of Spain. My works would greatly be retarded in publication, were it t for the generous aid offered me by my former student and present friend, John B.Stetson, Jr., of Philadelphia, whose faith in me and my work still holds in spite of the obstacles I have encountered.
