Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is an extensive dictionary of terms used by English writers from the twelfth to the fifteenth centuries. It provides an etymology for each word, explaining its evolution from its earlier forms. The author aimed to arrange the entries alphabetically, but he sometimes deviated from this plan for etymological reasons. Although the author's understanding of etymology is imperfect according to modern standards, this book remains a valuable reference work for scholars of Middle English literature. It provides a unique insight into the language and thought of the medieval period, and its historical approach to etymology can still offer valuable insights into the development of the English language. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
