This book is a general introduction to the structures of the different medieval Romance vernaculars most commonly known as Old or Medieval Spanish, as preserved in texts from Spain from the eleventh to the fifteenth centuries. After discussing general methodological questions concerning the description and analysis of an earlier historical stage of a modern language, the individual chapters in the first part of the book describe the orthography, phonetics and phonology, morphology, syntax, and vocabulary of medieval Hispano-Romance. Steven N. Dworkin offers the first systematic description of the language in English, and compares its structures with those found in the modern variety. In the second part of the book, the features of medieval Hispano-Romance are exemplified in an anthology of selected texts, one from each of the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth centuries, accompanied by linguistic commentary. The volume will be of interest to scholars and students of Romance linguistics, Spanish historical linguistics, and Spanish medieval literary and cultural studies.

The Old Spanish Trail was a pathway with but one purpose: to lead followers to the legendary land of Cibola and its immeasurable treasures of silver and gold. Lost Treasures of the Spanish Trail takes readers through the history of the trail and its surrounding lands, from the arrival of Spanish conquistadors and the treasures of Montezuma, through its expansion northward, to the traces of the trail that can still be found today, worn deeply into soft sandstone, perhaps still leading to the hidden treasures that inspire legends.

Spanish is a fun, social activity! What makes "Spanish with Amigos" different from the many other Spanish books out there is that instead of studying Spanish by yourself, this book was designed for you to practice your Spanish conversation skills right from the start with a friend (an intercambio), a conversation group (grupo de conversación), or even a beginning Spanish conversation class (clase de conversación). "Spanish with Amigos" has been intentionally designed to be very simplistic - with little grammar included. Each of the 22 topics start with a manageable vocabulary list of 12-20 words/phrases, including a phonetic pronunciation guide, such: Good morning. / Buenos días. / BWAY-nose DEE-ahs. The topic is immediately followed by role-play ideas and conversational exercises so that you can practice the vocabulary with your co-workers, family, and friends - making Spanish a fun, social activity!
