A Late Eighth-Century LatinAnglo-Saxon Glossary Preserved in the Library of the Leiden UniversityAuthor(s): Jan Hendrik Hessels\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Cambridge University Press, United Kingdom\nImprint: Cambridge University Press\nISBN-13: 9781108029094, 978-1108029094\nSynopsis\nPrior to his 1890 publication of the Corpus Christi LatinOld English MS, also reissued in this series, Jan Hendrik Hessels [tel] had begun transcribing this equally important text, of which his edition was published in 1906. (He explains the delay by referring to 'work of another nature': his monumental edition of the archive of the Dutch Church in London [tel], also now available in the Cambridge Library Collection.) Hessels again provides a thorough introduction, including a detailed physical description of the manuscript alongside its history, provenance, and a wealth of other information. The work contains extracts from various texts and treatises, and Hessels' cross-references to other glossari.
