Inhaltsangabe

Discover the roots of Old English across dialects with authentic medieval texts.

This scholarly reader collects archaic and non-West-Saxon material to illuminate the variety of Old English. It presents texts as they appear in contemporary manuscripts, without added theoretical notes in this first edition. The book aims to help linguistic students understand the features of several dialects through carefully chosen excerpts, glossaries, and inscriptions that survive from the period.

- Contents span Epinal-Erfurt and Corpus glossaries, Oldest glosses, Inscriptions, Northumbrian fragments, Liber Vitae, and the Vespasian Hymns.
- It includes major groups like the Kentish glosses, Durham and Rushworth glossaries, and a wide range of charters, with texts kept in their manuscript forms.
- The edition emphasizes authenticity and accessibility for advanced study of dialectal variation in Old English.

Ideal for readers of historical linguistics, philology students, and anyone exploring the language of early English manuscripts.
