Synopsis
Excerpt from The Syntax of Brant's Narrenschiff
The matters of arrangement and accessibility, in which our German linguistic treatises leave so much to be desired, have seemed to me to be Of especial importance in such a work. I have therefore been at great pains to put the material in as simple and lucid an order as I could devise: alphabetic wherever possible, otherwise according to its logical relation or importance. I have made careful cross-references and compiled an index which is intended to include every mention of every word and every con struction discussed.
It has been my aim to account for and at least to suggest the explanation or development of every syntactical form used by Brant which is not found in the literary language of the present day, or which for any other reason - such as recording an early appearance of a modern usage foreign to Middle High German, or for the sake of completeness - seemed interesting enough to note.
