OUTLINES OF A NUER GRAMMAR by Fr. J. P. CRAZZOLARA marks an invaluable contribution to our understanding of the Nuer language, a key member of the “Jii-family” of Nilo-Saharan languages. Out-of-print since 1933, this pioneering work remains unsurpassed to this day in scope, clarity and detail.  It explains and tracks, for example, five distinct elements of verbal inflection, including relative intonation. The 2023 edition adds a biographical tribute to the author. (xii + 250 pp., 5.5 x 8.5 in.) US$ 15.00.
