Aelfric's Grammar

Aelfric's Grammar is a detailed guide from the late 10th or early 11th century written by the monk Aelfric. It explains the rules of Old English language, including how words change form depending on their role in a sentence (grammar cases), verb conjugations, and pronunciation. Its purpose was to help students and scholars understand and correctly use Old English, preserving the language's structure. The work reflects the linguistic knowledge of its time and provides insights into early English grammar and education.
