Description

Arthur Sampson Napier (1853-1916), Merton Professor of English Language and Literature at Oxford, gathered here hundreds of Old English words and senses unrecorded in the dictionaries, each with its manuscript sources — a working supplement to Bosworth-Toller that Anglo-Saxonists still cite. Facsimile of the offprint from the Philological Society’s Transactions (Stephen Austin & Sons, Hertford, 1906).This is a faithful print-on-demand facsimile of the 1906 Hertford (Stephen Austin & Sons) edition, reproduced in full from a library copy. The historical text is reproduced without modification; only the format, margins and legibility have been reset for modern printing.
