✦ Synopsis

A lightly compressed version of the 138 MB PDF recently made available of Paden's Introduction to Old Occitan. It has been properly paginated and bookmarked for ease of use. It has also been cropped so that basically only one page shows at a time. Thank you, person who uploaded the 138 MB PDF. It is a textbook that teaches the language of the troubadours in its own terms, in short units at a time, rather than in reference to French, Old French, or else in extended form.
