Description

Excerpt from A Handy Dictionary of Anglo-Saxon Poetry, Based on Groschopp's Grein: Edited, Revised, and Corrected With Grammatical Appendix, List of Irregular Verbs, and Brief Etymological Features At present it is impossible to make a complete Dictionary of the ao - called anglo-saxon period. Only the poetical monuments have been carefully edited. The prose of that period is still partly locked up in Mss. Even the prose works of Aelfred and Aelfric are not to be found in complete, trust worthy editions. Already the bosworth-toller Dictionary needs a careful revision, although it is only half finished. Hence the present work will contain only such words as are used in anglo-saxon Poetry. It will, how ever, contain all words in anglo-saxon Poetry, and thus afford students of Old English a cheap and handy volume by means of which any poem of that time can be read and studied.
