Lexiographica. Series Maior features monographs and edited volumes on the topics of lexicography and meta-lexicography. Works from the broader domain of lexicology are also included, provided they strengthen the theoretical, methodological and empirical basis of lexicography and meta-lexicography. The almost 150 books published in the series since its founding in 1984 clearly reflect the main themes and developments of the field. The publications focus on aspects of lexicography such as micro- and macrostructure, typology, history of the discipline, and application-oriented lexicographical documentation.

Excerpt from The Corpus Glossary The utmost brevity was stipulated for this edition. We provide text and apparatus criticus, but (professedly) nothing more. The reader may seek explanations of difficult words in Goetz' Thesaurus Glossarum and the great Latin Thesaurus; of anglo-saxon puzzles in Sweet's Old English Texts and the index of Anglia, etc.; al though our discovery of the source of each gloss will facilitate the solution or at least the new treatment of many of these problems and send to limbo many magazine-articles. Until the full fruits of this discovery have been reaped it seems premature to include notes on anglo-saxon words (a thing beyond our power) or a scientific anglo-saxon Index. Some competent Anglicist will, we hope, in the near future make a comprehensive survey of the anglo-saxon side of this glossary. And a final treatment of the all-latin items borrowed from Abstrusa and Abolita is impossible until these two glossaries have been edited or at least analysed. The Prolegomena, which could not be brief, had to be excluded. They will be found in an English Philological Society Publication ('the Corpus, Epinal, Erfurt and Leyden Glossaries, ' Oxford, 1921) About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Bringing together fifteen articles by scholars in Europe and North America, this collection aims to represent and advance studies in historical lexis. It highlights the significance of the understanding of dictionary-making and language-making as important socio-cultural phenomena. With its general focus on England and English, the book investigates the reception and development of historical and modern English vocabulary and culture in different periods, social and professional strata, geographical varieties of English, and other national cultures. The volume is based on individual (meta)lexicographical, etymological, lexicosemantic and corpus studies, representing two large areas of research: the first part focuses on the history of dictionaries, analysing them in diachrony from the first professional dictionaries of the Baroque period via Enlightenment and Romanticism to exploring the possibilities of the new online lexicographical publications; and the second part looks at the interfaces between etymology, semantic development and word-formation on the one hand, and changes in society and culture on the other.

Anglo-Saxon lexicography studies Latin texts and words. The earliest English lexicographers are largely unidentifiable students, teachers, scholars and missionaries. Materials brought from abroad by early teachers were augmented by their teachings and passed on by their students. Lexicographical material deriving from the early Canterbury school remains traceable in glossaries throughout this period, but new material was constantly added. Aldhelm and Ælfric Bata, among others, wrote popular, much studied hermeneutic texts using rare, exotic words, often derived from glossaries, which then contributed to other glossaries. Ælfric of Eynsham is a rare identifiable early English lexicographer, unusual in his lack of interest in hermeneutic vocabulary. The focus is largely on context and the process of creation and intended use of glosses and glossaries. Several articles examine intellectual centres where scholars and texts came together, for example, Theodore and Hadrian in Canterbury; Aldhelm in Malmesbury; Dunstan at Christ Church, Canterbury; Æthelwold in Winchester; King Æthelstan's court; Abingdon; Glastonbury; and Worcester.
