Norreno - Antico islandese: manuale di base è un'introduzione allo studio della lingua norrena, parlata dai popoli scandinavi nel periodo medievale, e per la lettura in originale delle saghe islandesi. Non viene data per acquisita alcuna conoscenza grammaticale pregressa, ed è concepito sia per lo studio autonomo sia sotto la supervisione di un insegnante. Il metodo utilizzato è il cosiddetto metodo "naturale", poco seguito in Italia per lo studio delle lingue antiche, ma molto comune nel Nord-Europa: anziché proporre dense tabelle grammaticali da memorizzare fuori contesto, seguite da una massiccia dose di esercizi composti dagli autori, con il presente metodo, si inizierà immediatamente con la lettura di brani originali dalle saghe islandesi, assieme ad episodi dei miti scandinavi e da altre fonti medievali. Soluzioni su oldnorse.org.La lingua e la mentalità del mondo nordico medievale prendono appunto vita in questi testi. Per le soluzioni agli esercizi, si visiti il sito: www.oldnorse.org. Questo manuale è accompagnato da un eserciziario per il consolidamento delle competenze acquisite: Norreno - Antico islandese: Eserciziario. www.oldnorse.org e juleswilliampress.com
