Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Corpus Glossary The utmost brevity was stipulated for this edition. We provide text and apparatus criticus, but (professedly) nothing more. The reader may seek explanations of difficult words in Goetz' Thesaurus Glossarum and the great Latin Thesaurus; of anglo-saxon puzzles in Sweet's Old English Texts and the index of Anglia, etc.; al though our discovery of the source of each gloss will facilitate the solution or at least the new treatment of many of these problems and send to limbo many magazine-articles. Until the full fruits of this discovery have been reaped it seems premature to include notes on anglo-saxon words (a thing beyond our power) or a scientific anglo-saxon Index. Some competent Anglicist will, we hope, in the near future make a comprehensive survey of the anglo-saxon side of this glossary. And a final treatment of the all-latin items borrowed from Abstrusa and Abolita is impossible until these two glossaries have been edited or at least analysed. The Prolegomena, which could not be brief, had to be excluded. They will be found in an English Philological Society Publication ('the Corpus, Epinal, Erfurt and Leyden Glossaries, ' Oxford, 1921) About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

As I pointed out in the Academy, May 12, 1894, p. 399, Aldhelm glosses are to be found in the Corpus Glossary', as well as amongst the glosses from ms. Harley 3376 printed in ww. 192-247 in proof of which I give a few instances below. In choosing the examples I have confined myself almost entirely to inflected forms, as these have naturally more weight than uninflected ones. The great majority of instances in the Corpus Glossary are peculiar to that glossary and are not found amongst the Epinal Erfurt Glosses, and this shows that the scribe of the former got them from an independent source; but the asterisked ones, which occur in the ep.-erf. Glossaries, prove that another and independent Aldhelm glossary was one of the sources of the archetype of ep.-erf. And Corpus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anglo-Saxon lexicography studies Latin texts and words. The earliest English lexicographers are largely unidentifiable students, teachers, scholars and missionaries. Materials brought from abroad by early teachers were augmented by their teachings and passed on by their students. Lexicographical material deriving from the early Canterbury school remains traceable in glossaries throughout this period, but new material was constantly added. Aldhelm and Ælfric Bata, among others, wrote popular, much studied hermeneutic texts using rare, exotic words, often derived from glossaries, which then contributed to other glossaries. Ælfric of Eynsham is a rare identifiable early English lexicographer, unusual in his lack of interest in hermeneutic vocabulary. The focus is largely on context and the process of creation and intended use of glosses and glossaries. Several articles examine intellectual centres where scholars and texts came together, for example, Theodore and Hadrian in Canterbury; Aldhelm in Malmesbury; Dunstan at Christ Church, Canterbury; Æthelwold in Winchester; King Æthelstan's court; Abingdon; Glastonbury; and Worcester.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Etymology: A Select Glossary Serving as an Introduction to the History of the English Language If we may be allowed to give a hint as to the use of our little book, we should advise the teacher to make it a point to deal always with a group of words at a time. Special interest attaches, for instance, to words of early Christian origin, to the names of festivals and the days of the week; besides these the names of the various parts of the house and of the materials used in building, the words for cattle and the various kinds of meat, for eating and drinking, etc. Might be made the subject of a suggestive discussion. By treating etymology in this way, the teacher will have the advantage of converting a les son in the growth of the English language into an inquiry into the history of the anglo-saxon race, thus lending to a naturally dry subject a fresh charm and a deeper meaning.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Glossary of Words and Phrases: Usually Regarded as Peculiar to the United States Having found the case to be as stated, I had next to decide between a vocabulary of words of purely American origin, or one in which should be embraced all those words usual] y called provincial or vulgar - all the words, whatever be their origin, which are used in familiar conversation, and but seldom em ployed in composition - all the perversions of language, and abuses of words into which people, in certain sections of the country, have fallen, and some of those remarkable and ludi croas forms of speech which have been adopted in the Western States. The latter plan seemed the most satisfactory, and this I determined to adopt. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Glossary of Terms and Phrases THE "Glossary' of Terms and Phrases" is intended to bring together such words, expressions, quotations, etc., English or other, as arc among the more uncommon in current literature, and require, not for the scientific but for the ordinary reader, explanations, for the want of which the meaning of a sentence or a paragraph, even the drift of an argument, is often missed; explanations, moreover, not to be obtained without reference to, and perhaps tedious search among, a large and varied number of books, many of them not easily accessible. In short, the editor indulges the hope that this Glossary may supply all the information needed by general readers, who may wish to have a fair understanding of the text of any work in ordinary English literature. Of these terms and expressions some arc purely, some are more or less technical and scientific; some arc simply uncommon; some contain allusions mythological, historical, geographical; some fall under a very large class, which must be styled miscellaneous; some belong to other languages than our own. But in explaining the words themselves, no attempt has been made to enter further than is necessary into the nature of the things named. At the same time, the amount of genera! added to glossarial information must necessarily be very different in different eases.
