Kirjamees ja rahvavalgustaja B.G. Forselius (Estonian Edition) by Andresen, L Unknown - 1991

Tallinn: Eesti Raamat, 1991. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. Inscribed & Signed by Author. First Edition.. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. Text in Estonian. B.G. (Bengt Gottfried) Forselius was a 17th-century Estonian educator who introduced a number of educational innovations, among them the creation of a spelling system that simplified both the teaching and learning of Estonian. An uncommon title, and if you can read Estonian, you can be the envy of everyone on your block. Navy leatherette w/gold lettering to front cover/spine, 116 pages. This copy inscribed on reverse of first end paper (my Estonian is a bit rusty, and I'm not terribly familiar with the process Forselius created to facilitate learning the language, so please forgive me if I don't provide an accurate translation -- or even a wildly inaccurate one). Light general wear..
