User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - An Important Work - Now Available for Little Money
Yes, it's very old, but you still have to own this, if you are going to do anything with Umbrian. Anyone enthused about Sabellic languages should burn incense to the publishings gods in thanks for this affordable reprint. Compared to the $150+ Olms reprint, this edition is dirt cheap.



Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - Buy it while it still exists...
...for apparently it won't be reprinted and it is the only Oscan and Umbrian grammar ever made and available on the market. I give it 3 stars because it is quite old (1930s for the second edition) and then it lacks some accuracy in the most technical aspects of its linguistic analysis.
But some may give it 5 stars because of its priceless and unique linguistic value, and witness.
And look at the price: it is more than affordable.
Concerning the content, this grammar constantly refers to Latin in a comparative and typological perspective, and analyses Oscan and Umbrian morphology, syntax, phonetics, providing precious information about the available texts and being thorough even in the analysis of Oscan and Umbrian prepositions, conjunctions, for example, which are generally eluded or little studied in many grammars written during this period.
