Forsøg til en videnskabelig dansk Retskrivningslære med Hensyn til Stamsproget og Nabosproget. - [ASSOCIATION COPY.]
København, Popp, 1826. 8vo. Bound in a contemporary half calf binding with gilt spine. Gilt title to spine. Boards and edges slightly rubbed. Long handwritten note on front free endpaper from Rask's half-brother H. K. Rask. Few scattered brownspots and contemporary underlinings in text, otherwise clean. (2),16,339,(1) + 1 engraved plate.
A magnificent association copy of the first edition of Rask's seminal 'Danish Orthography'. The main point propounded in Rask's comprehensive treatise of Danish orthography is that the spelling ought to correspond as closely as possible with the pronunciation. For instance, Rask suggests new spellings of a large group of loanwords: 'direktør' instead of 'directeur', 'affære' instead of 'affaire' and so forth. Although many of Rask's contemporaries opposed his orthografical ideas, his work constitutes a main work on Danish orthography, and several of his suggestions were ultimately adopted and are still in use today. The present copy carries a long handwritten note in the hand of Rasmus Rask's half-brother, H. K. Rask, stating that the copy was given by Rask to Hans Hansa and was then passed on to H. K. Rask. H. K. then mentions how he perused the book with great pleasure and goes on to defend the proposals for change in Danish orthography presented in the book.

Ch. Nic. Rask."" (4),112 pp.
A beautiful gift copy of the first edition of Rask's 'English Morphology', inscribed by his half-brother Hans Kristian Rask to the Danish theologian and professor Jens Møller (1779-1833). Møller is best known for his biographical works. Hjelmslev I, 200.
Original handwritten and signed letter for ""Hochzuverehrende Herren!"" (= Verein für Geschichte und Alterthumskunde Westphalens). - [ORIGINAL LETTER FROM THE MASTER OF PHILOLOGERS]
Dated ""Kopenhagen d. 13. Septbr. 1828."" 1 1/2 p. 4to. In German. In the letter Rask expresses great gratitude for having been announced ""Ehrenmitglied [= honorary member] des Vereins für Geschichte und Alterthumskunde Westphalens"""" the membership is effectuated from the 7th of August 1827, and Rask has received the diploma the same day as the letter is written. He describes what a great honor it is for him, and thanks the society many times, expressing his wish to be of use to them. He tells about his love for Scandinavian literature and his membership of the ""nordischen Ges."" and ""isländischen liter. Gesellschaft."" He wishes to live up to the responsibility this diploma gives him, ""[u]m aber etwas für die germanische Literatur oder Alterthums-/ kunde leisten zu können, bedarf ich viel mehr Hilfe von andern/ als ich solche zu geben im Stande bin."" He is currently working on an ""altsächsische Grammatik"", very much similar to his angelsachsische and friesische, but to be able to finish it properly, he is in want of an ""Abschrift des bekannten Bamberger Codex von/ der Evangelienharmonie, der gerade des beträchtlichste Stück von diesem Dialekt ist."" He has, however without luck, tried to get a hold of one and is now asking the society if they can be helpful.
With address and paper-seal on verso. Rasmus Rask is one of the absolutely most prominent and famous Danish philologers and is very well esteemed worldwide. He was the first to systematically study the ancient Nordic languages and is the discoverer of the relations between the consonants in the Indo-European languages. This discovery served as the foundation of the rules Jacob Grimm later formulated, underlying the Germanic and High-German soundshifts. In PMM Rask is yielded as ""one of the founders of the modern science of language."" (PMM 266).Letters from Rask are of the greatest rarity.

First edition of Rask's important ""Spanish Grammar"", Otto Jespersen's copy, with his name in own hand on front free end-paper. Otto Jespersen (1860 - 1943) was one of the greatest linguists of the 20th century. He was professor of English language at the university of Copenhagen, and his works on English language and grammar are some of the best within their field and they were used at most English universities. He is the inventor of the famous artificial language ""Novial"", and his work ""Fonetik"" is considered a mile-stone of European linguistics.""Through a long life Otto Jespersen has offered valuable contributions to general phonetics and grammar and to our knowledge of English and Danish and other languages, thus being a worthy successor of the great Danish linguists of the last century (Rask, Thomsen, Verner, and others). His revolutionary work for the improvement of the teaching of modern languages has had great effects far beyond the boundary of his own country."" (Niels Haislund, in: Sebeok, Portraits of Linguists. A Biographical Source Book for the History of Western Linguistics, 1746-1963, 1967).

In PMM Rask is yielded as ""one of the founders of the modern science of language."" (PMM 266).Janus Lauritz Andreas Kolderup-Rosenvinge (1792-1850) was a renowned Danish jurist, who played a great role in cultural life of golden age Denmark.

First (and only) edition of the first Singalese grammar in a Western language, Rask's highly importent work, in which he ""identified Sinhalese as a speech belonging to the same class as Sanskrit and added that Tamil belonged to quite a different class. Since then the subject has been studied and discusses by various scholars, and it is established beyond doubt that Sinhalese is an Indo-Aryan language.""Rasmus Rask is one of the absolutely most prominent and famous Danish philologers and is very well esteemed worldwide.

R. Rasks Danske Sproglære fra engelsk oversat af H.K. Rask. Bekostet af Selskabet for en forbedret Retskrivnings Udbredelse.
København, Poppske Offisin, 1837. 8vo. Uncut and unopened in the original blue wrappers. Internally near mint. 12,56 pp.
First Danish edition of Rask's 'Grammar of the Danish Language', translated by his half-brother H. K. Rask. This edition often appears with the variant title page stating: ""R. K. Rasks / Danske Sproglære, / fra Engelsk oversat / og indrettet til Brug for Danske."" The most significant difference between the two variants is the ""K."", short for Kristian, in Rask's name. Due to his critical thoughts on Christianity, and religion altogether, Rask stopped using 'Kristian' as a middle name. Accordingly, it is reasonable to assume that the title page of the present copy is the second title page, added later as desired by H. K. Rask. Hjelmslev I, 211.
