Synopsis
This book is a comprehensive dictionary of Old English, a language spoken in England from roughly the 5th to the 12th centuries. The author meticulously compiled this work by analyzing numerous glossaries to Anglo-Saxon textbooks, readers, and other materials. The author’s process went beyond simply collecting existing information, however. They added a significant amount of original material, including a manuscript concordance to Alfredian texts and a thorough exploration of words not found in existing dictionaries. The author’s dedication to exhaustiveness is evident in their attention to spelling variations, and the book serves as an invaluable resource for understanding the complexities of Old English phonology, a field that deals with the sounds of a language. The book’s arrangement is strictly alphabetical, a feature that sets it apart from other Anglo-Saxon dictionaries of the time, making it a convenient tool for students and scholars alike. This book serves as a testament to the author’s commitment to creating a comprehensive and user-friendly guide to the Old English language, a language that forms the basis of modern English and offers insights into the history and culture of the Anglo-Saxon people.
