A Grammar of the Modern Armenian Language (1856)

Description

Elias Riggs (1810-1901), American missionary and one of the great linguists of the Ottoman world, wrote this grammar of the Armenian actually spoken in Constantinople and Asia Minor — not the classical tongue of the books. Printed at Constantinople by A. B. Churchill in 1856, with the Armenian character throughout, paradigm tables and a sketch of the colloquial verb. A founding document of Western Armenian studies.This is a faithful print-on-demand facsimile of the 1856 Constantinople (A. B. Churchill) edition, reproduced in full from a library copy. The historical text is reproduced without modification; only the format, margins and legibility have been reset for modern printing.
