Towards a catalog of ancient Basque grammars: handwritten grammars

Abstract

This contribution aims at offering the list and description of the handwritten Basque grammars from before the 20th century. Following an introduction (§ 1), I will superficially introduce, on the one hand, the lost hand-written grammars (§ 2) and, on the other hand, the ones that not only have been kept but were also printed at their time or have more recently been published (§ 3). After that, I will give a more detailed account of complete old Basque grammars that have reached our days exclusively as manuscripts (§ 4).
