Book Description

Publication Date: August 30, 2005

For the first time in the history of research, the catalogue of OHG and OS manuscript glosses provides an inventory of all known extant Old High German and Old Saxon glosses. In a wide-scale project, the individual manuscripts were examined in libraries large and small across Europe, and an exact description of the contents and the codices was drawn up on the basis of the examination and comprehensive research into the relevant literature. The glosses contained in the manuscripts are identified by number and type, time and place of origin and by dialect. Each entry is completed with detailed bibliographies on the manuscripts and their inventory of glosses. Systematic access to the corpus data is provided by numerous indexes, including places, persons, authors and types of gloss. A representative selection of manuscript facsimiles with all the important types of gloss is provided in a volume of plates with some 300 illustration.
