This 1890 glossary is an edition of the text of MS. 144 in the
library of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, by scholar Jan
Hendrik Hessels (1836-1926). Hessels was simultaneously producing a
multi-volume edition of the archives of the Dutch Church in London,
published between 1887 and 1897, and also reissued in the Cambridge
Library Collection. This was the first edition of the MS in its
entirety, though three shorter versions had been produced in 1857
and the 1880s. The glossary comprises two parts: an interpretation
of Hebrew and Greek names, and a Latin-Old English glossary.
Hessels' thorough introduction describes the manuscript, outlines
his methodology and provides extensive tables of the 'organic
changes' in the text that he takes great care to categorise and
explain. M. R. James describes this work as 'edited...with the
greatest care and completeness', and it is much sought after by
scholars today.
