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.

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.
