PREFACE.


The present publication may be considered as the foundation-stone of the
Historical and Literary portion of the Philological Society’s proposed
English Dictionary. Its appearance in a separate form has been
necessitated by the nature of the scheme, on which that work is being
constructed. Without entering into details, which will be found in the
Society’s published Prospectus,[1] it will be sufficient for the present
purpose to mention, that the raw material of the Dictionary, the words and
authorities, are being brought together by a number of independent
collectors, for whom it is consequently necessary to provide some common
standard of comparison, whereby each may ascertain what he is to extract,
and what to reject, from the author, or work, he has undertaken. This
standard for works of earlier date than 1526 is furnished by the following
pages, which contain an alphabetical inventory of every word found in the
printed English literature of the 13th century. As, however, a mere index
verborum would but inadequately fulfil its object, a certain amount of
explanatory and etymological matter has been added, which it is hoped may
render the work more generally interesting and useful than could otherwise
have been the case. It is only proper to add that English literature, as
distinguished from Semi-Saxon, is assumed to commence about the middle of
the 13th century.

    [1] London, Trübner and Co., Paternoster Row, price 6d.

All words are arranged under their modern forms, where such exist, but the
older forms, except where utterly unimportant, are always noticed. The
more remarkable of these older forms are also entered in the Glossary in
their alphabetical order, with cross references to that under which the
word is discussed. Thus under ‘Hymn’ and ‘Isle’ will be found the forms
‘ympne’ and ‘ydle;’ but ‘ympne’ and ‘ydle’ appear also in their proper
places in the Glossary. Obsolete words are of course entered as they are
spelt in the passage whence they are taken, a rule which applies as much
to different forms of the same word, as to different words. As to the
etymological matter, nothing further as a general rule has been attempted
than to indicate the nearest cognate, or cognates, of the particular word;
but it has not been thought necessary, or desirable, to load the Glossary
with illustrations of this nature in very simple cases. I have to thank
Hensleigh Wedgwood, Esq., for many kind and valuable suggestions in this
part of my work.

My best thanks are also due to the Rev. J. Eastwood, the Rev. W. H.
Herford, to my colleague Mr F. J. Furnivall, and to Messrs M’Ewan and
Harrison, for their valuable assistance in the formation of separate
indexes to several of the works comprised in this Glossary. Their
respective shares in the work are pointed out in the List of Books and
Editions, which will be found in page v.

And I cannot terminate this brief preface without expressing my deep sense
of the obligations I am under to Sir F. Madden, not merely for the help of
his invaluable editions of Laȝamon and Havelok, without which this work
would have been far less complete than it now is, but also for much kind
personal advice and assistance, which probably few, if any, living
philologists beside himself would have been competent to bestow. It only
remains for me to add that, although no pains have been spared to render
the book as complete as possible, I cannot but expect that some omissions
and errors will be discovered, more especially as the largest and most
laborious portion of the work was carried on during a long period of ill
health. I shall feel very grateful to those who discover any addenda, if
they will kindly communicate them to me for insertion hereafter in the
Dictionary itself.

⁂ All the following pieces are cited by the number of the verse, except
where the contrary is expressly mentioned.


_Havelok the Dane._ Edited by Sir F. Madden, for the Roxburgh Club. (By Mr
H. Coleridge.)

_Geste of Kyng Horn._ Edited by M. Michel, for the Bannatyne Club. (By Mr
H. Coleridge.)

    (N.B. The text of this poem in the second vol. of Ritson’s Metrical
    Romances is taken from a later MS., and differs considerably from the
    Bannatyne text.)

_Kyng Alysaunder._ In Weber’s Metrical Romances, vol. I. (By Mr H.
Coleridge.)

_The Land of Cokaygne._ In Hickes’s Thesaurus, vol. I. p. 231. (By Mr
Furnivall.)

  _The Life of St Margaret_ (cited by stanzas), } in Hickes’s Thesaurus,
                                                    vol. I. pp. 224, 233.

Mr Furnivall and Mr H. Coleridge.)

_Fragment on Popular Science_, from the Early English Metrical Lives of
Saints, in Mr Wright’s ‘Popular Treatises on Science.’ (By Mr H.
Coleridge.)

_Specimens of Lyric Poetry_, temp. Edw. I. Edited by Mr Wright, for the
Percy Society. (By Mr M’Ewan.)

Mr H. Coleridge.)

_Political Songs_, temp. Hen. III. and Edw. I. Edited by Mr Wright, for
the Camden Society. (By the Rev. W. H. Herford.)

contained in the Specimens of Lyric Poetry, temp. Ed. I., and are quoted
from that collection. (By Mr Harrison.)

_Religious Songs_, printed at the end of the Percy Society’s edition of
the Owl and Nightingale. (By Mr H. Coleridge.)

_Dialogue between the Soul and Body._ In the Appendix to Mapes’s Poems,
edited by Mr Wright, for the Camden Society, p. 334. (By the Rev. J.
Eastwood.)

_The Early English Psalter._ Edited by the Rev. J. Stevenson, for the

_The Legend of St Brandan._ Edited by Mr Wright, for the Percy Society.
(By the Rev. J. Eastwood.)

_The Life and Martyrdom of Thomas Beket._ Edited by Mr Black, for the
Percy Society. (By the Rev. J. Eastwood.)

    (Owing to the gross inaccuracy of the marginal numbering in the
    printed edition of this poem, it has been found necessary to go over
    the whole afresh, and to cite according to the amended reckoning. The
    following data will assist the reader:--The first error occurs in page
    64, where the line numbered 1280 should be 1282. The second occurs in
    page 100, where ten lines are dropped, and 1961 is printed for 1973,
    the true number. The third will be found in page 110, where 2049 is
    made to succeed 2139, and after this, of course, the confusion is
    hopeless. The exact number of lines in the poem is 2515, while the
    printed numbers give only 2398. Readers are therefore requested to
    renumber their copies from page 64 onwards, before attempting to
    verify the references in the Glossary.)

The following pieces will be printed in the second part of the
Philological Society’s Transactions for 1858, and are therefore included
in the Glossary. I am indebted to the kindness of my friend and colleague,
Mr Furnivall, for the loan of his transcripts.

_A Moral Ode._ MS. Egerton, 613. Cited by stanzas.

    (Hickes printed Extracts from this Ode, in his Thesaurus, vol. I. p.
    222, from one of the Digby MSS.; but his text is somewhat different
    from that of the Egerton MS., and omits nine stanzas contained in the
    latter.)

  _A Sermon_ (cited by stanzas),                                }
  _Signa Ante Judicium_,                                        }
  _A Fragment on the Seven Sins_,                               } MS. Harl.
  _The Ten Commandments_,                                       } 913.
  _Christ on the Cross_,                                        }
  _A Poem on Miracles_, containing a Tale of an Oxford Student, }
  _The Fall and Passion_,                                       }

  _The Legends of_           }
      _St Dunstan_,          }
      _St Katherine_,        }
      _St Andrew_,           }
      _St Lucy_,             } from MS. Harl. 2277.
      _St Swithin_,          }
      _St Edward_,           }
      _Pilate_,              }
      _Judas Iscariot_,      }

A few references will also be found to the Manuel des Pecches of Robert
Brunne, now being edited by Mr Furnivall, for the Roxburgh Club, but the
proof-sheets came into my hands too late to allow of anything like a
complete analysis of the language of the poem.

Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions
will be renamed.

Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no
one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation
(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without
permission and without paying copyright royalties.  Special rules,
set forth in the General Terms of Use part of this license, apply to
copying and distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works to
protect the PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm concept and trademark.  Project
Gutenberg is a registered trademark, and may not be used if you
charge for the eBooks, unless you receive specific permission.  If you
do not charge anything for copies of this eBook, complying with the
rules is very easy.  You may use this eBook for nearly any purpose
such as creation of derivative works, reports, performances and
research.  They may be modified and printed and given away--you may do
practically ANYTHING with public domain eBooks.  Redistribution is
subject to the trademark license, especially commercial
redistribution.

(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project
Gutenberg-tm License available with this file or online at
  www.gutenberg.org/license.


Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
electronic works

1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.

1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
works.  See paragraph 1.E below.

1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.

1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
States.

1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the

copied or distributed:

from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
1.E.9.

1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked
to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.

License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.

electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without

Gutenberg-tm License.

1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.

1.E.8.  You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing

- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
     returns.  Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."

- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
     License.  You must require such a user to return or
     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
     Project Gutenberg-tm works.

- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
     of receipt of the work.

- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
     distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.

1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.

1.F.

1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
your equipment.

1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGE.

1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
opportunities to fix the problem.

1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO OTHER
WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.

1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.

1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.


Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm

Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.

Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
works.

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
with anyone.  For forty years, he produced and distributed Project
Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:

     www.gutenberg.org

This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
