This is a modern-English version of A Dictionary of the First or Oldest Words in the English Language: From the Semi-Saxon Period of A.D. 1250 to 1300, originally written by Coleridge, Herbert. It has been thoroughly updated, including changes to sentence structure, words, spelling, and grammar—to ensure clarity for contemporary readers, while preserving the original spirit and nuance. If you click on a paragraph, you will see the original text that we modified, and you can toggle between the two versions.

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.

This publication can be seen as the starting point for the Historical and Literary section of the Philological Society’s planned English Dictionary. Its release in a separate format has been required by the nature of the project on which the dictionary is being built. Without going into specifics, which can be found in the Society’s published Prospectus,[1] it’s enough to mention that the raw material for the Dictionary—words and sources—is being gathered by several independent collectors. Therefore, it’s necessary to provide a common standard of comparison, so each collector can determine what to keep and what to discard from the author or work they are working on. This standard for works dated before 1526 is provided by the following pages, which include an alphabetical list of every word found in printed English literature from the 13th century. However, since a simple word index would not adequately meet its purpose, some explanatory and etymological content has been added, which is hoped to make the work more interesting and useful than it otherwise could have been. It’s important to note that English literature, as distinct from Semi-Saxon, is assumed to begin around the middle of the 13th century.

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[Pg iv] 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.

All words are listed with their modern forms when available, but the older forms are always noted, except when they’re completely irrelevant. The more significant older forms are also included in the Glossary in alphabetical order, with cross-references to where the word is discussed. For instance, under ‘Hymn’ and ‘Isle,’ you’ll find the forms ‘ympne’ and ‘ydle,’ but ‘ympne’ and ‘ydle’ also appear in their correct spots in the [Pg iv] Glossary. Obsolete words are entered as they are spelled in the passages they come from, a rule that applies to various forms of the same word as well as different words. Regarding etymology, generally, only the closest cognate or cognates of the specific word have been indicated; it hasn’t been necessary or beneficial to clutter the Glossary with examples in very straightforward cases. I would like to thank Hensleigh Wedgwood, Esq., for many helpful 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.

My sincere thanks also go to Rev. J. Eastwood, Rev. W. H. Herford, my colleague Mr. F. J. Furnivall, and Messrs M’Ewan and Harrison for their valuable help in creating separate indexes for several of the works included in this Glossary. Their specific contributions to the project are mentioned in the List of Books and Editions, which can be found on 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.

And I can’t finish this brief preface without expressing my deep gratitude to Sir F. Madden, not just for his invaluable editions of Laȝamon and Havelok, which have made this work much more complete than it would have been without them, but also for his generous personal advice and support, which probably very few, if any, living philologists could offer. I should also mention that, while I’ve done my best to make the book as thorough as possible, I do expect some omissions and errors to be found, especially since the most extensive and demanding part of the work was carried out during a long stretch of poor health. I would be very thankful to anyone who finds any additions or corrections and would be willing to share them with me for future inclusion in the Dictionary itself.

(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.)

(Owing to the significant inaccuracies in the marginal numbering in the printed edition of this poem, it has become necessary to redo the entire thing and cite it according to the corrected numbering. The following information will help the reader:—The first mistake is on page 64, where line 1280 should actually be 1282. The second mistake is on page 100, where ten lines are missing, and 1961 is printed instead of the correct number, 1973. The third mistake is on page 110, where 2049 incorrectly follows 2139, and after this point, the confusion is impossible to untangle. The exact total of lines in the poem is 2515, while the printed edition only shows 2398. Therefore, readers are asked to renumber their copies starting from page 64 before trying 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.
