Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. 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 authorââ â¢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 authorââ â¢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 bookââ â¢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 authorââ â¢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.
