The conscientious revision of a dictionary demands the strict
observance of the underlying philological and historical
principles, stringent adherence to the textual tradition and
constant attention to ongoing research. Published in 1969, the
first edition observed these principles and provided significant
inspiration for Old High German research. Since publication of the
fifth edition, the dictionary has listed the most important
scientific works that are of concern to Old High German texts. The
vocabulary provided in this edition includes numerous additions
from various texts, in particular from the oldest Williram
translations, but also from minor texts that had not previously
received sufficient attention. Necessary corrections and
improvements were carried out again ensuring that the seventh
edition also takes the current scientific requirements into
account. Furthermore, it continues to provide reliable assistance
to teachers and students of German, Nordic, Dutch, English, Frisian
as well as Old Saxon and Medieval Latin studies, and those
interested in Romance languages.
The AOld High German DictionaryA is an indispensable resource for
university students and scholars. Its 12,000 entries encompass the
vocabulary culled from 84 major literary works, including newly
added texts. The decisively new feature of this edition is the
inclusion of the glosses. Over 27,000 new entries supplement the
vocabulary culled from literary sources and in many cases go well
beyond it. These entries are indicated by the abbreviation SchG.,
referring to Rudolf SchA1/4tzeichel's AAlthochdeutscher und
altsAchsischer GlossenwortschatzA (12 vols., TA1/4bingen 2004).
This is the first dictionary to unite both vocabulary sources in
one volume.
