This book serves as a gateway to the Elementa grammaticae Huronicae, an eighteenth-century grammar of the Wendat (âHuronâ) language by Jesuit Pierre-Philippe Potier (1708â1781). The volume falls into three main parts. The first part introduces the grammar and some of its contexts, offering information about the Huron-Wendat and Wyandot, the early modern Jesuit mission in New France and the Jesuitsâ linguistic output. The heart of the volume is made up by its second part, a text edition of the Elementa. The third part presents some avenues of research by way of specific case studies.
