  • Karl von Richthofen’s Altfriesisches Wörterbuch (1840)

    Open AccessRolf H BremmerARTICLEAmsterdamer Beiträge zur älteren…2024

    Karl von Richthofen’s voluminous Altfriesisches Wörterbuch was published in 1840, when the author was only 29 years old. It marked a major achievement in the field of Old Frisian studies and well beyond that discipline. This article introduces the author, his study at the universities of Berlin and Göttingen and how the dictionary evolved from what was originally intended to be a subject index to accompany his critical and comparative edition of …

  • Bilan des études sur le vieux-frison (1992-2021)

    Rolf H Bremmer, Rolf H Bremmer JrARTICLERevue germanique internationale2021

    Cet article présente l’état de l’art des études sur le vieux-frison à partir de 1992 et se concentre sur les publications en anglais et en allemand. Il passe en revue les tendances et les développements dans les domaines de la linguistique, de la littérature et de la culture depuis l’émergence du frison vers 400 après J.-C. jusqu’à la fin du Moyen Âge. Une attention particulière est accordée à des sujets tels que la relation étroite entre le (vie…

  • “Thi Wilde Witsing”

    Rolf H BremmerARTICLEThe Journal of English and…2020

    In this article I argue that the Viking presence in various Frisian laws has little to offer for establishing a date of origin for a particular law-text. Rather than interpreting such references as reflection of real-time events, I want to make a case that mentions of tyrannizing Norsemen in these law codes should be seen as an essential constituent in a myth of origin, invented to justify the Frisians’ exceptional position within the political c…

    Open AccessRolf H BremmerCHAPTERAlliteration in Culture2011

    The medieval corpus of Frisian laws has attracted scholarly attention for many centuries, first for their intrinsic value, but since the Romantic period also for their style. Jacob Grimm was the first of a long line of scholars who was intrigued by the frequent use of alliteration in these law texts, and suggested that before literacy came to the Frisians these laws had been handed down orally. Later scholars, such as Moritz Heyne and Rudolf Köge…

    Of the many fine scholars who made and have maintained the high reputation of the Dutch Republic in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Franciscus Junius the Younger (1591-1677) is one who has not yet been given the attention he deserves. Born and brought up among the élite Calvinist scholars of Leiden University, he began his career as a theologian. As a consequence of the religious quarrels between the Arminians and Gomarists, he resigned …

  • Bad Frisian and bad Low German

    Rolf H BremmerARTICLEMultilingua1997

    Frisian was the language spoken in the coastal districts between the Rhine and the Weser well into the High Middle Ages. Its retreat from the north-eastern end was caused by the growing dominance of Low German, the Hanseatic language. Whereas the external history of the demise of Frisian as a written language has been well described, little work has been done on a description and analysis of the process itself. Study of a short Low German text wr…
