"A Concise Anglo-Saxon Dictionary" by J. R. Clark Hall is a reference work written in the early 20th century. This dictionary serves as a linguistic tool for students studying Old English, offering definitions, usages, and grammatical details of Anglo-Saxon vocabulary. The focus of the book is on providing a thorough compilation of Anglo-Saxon words, helping scholars and students gain access to the language and its meanings. The opening of the dictionary includes the transcriber’s note detailing the alphabetical organization of entries, the handling of specific letters and diacritics, and references to cross-references within the text. It also outlines significant changes made in the second edition, emphasizing the shift toward a more scientific arrangement of words, the introduction of helpful references to the New English Dictionary for etymological insights, and a note on the increased number of word references to Anglo-Saxon texts. Overall, the beginning of the dictionary sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the Anglo-Saxon lexicon, highlighting its scholarly utility. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
