Inhoud:

A respected folklorist and medievalist, Thomas Wright (1810-77) wrote prolifically on a wide range of subjects. This two-volume dictionary, published in 1857, aimed to help readers to navigate unfamiliar vocabulary in historical literature. It gives definitions, etymologies and illustrative examples of obsolete Old English, Anglo-Norman and dialectal words.
