Glossaries are one of the most important sources for our knowledge
of early medieval schools, for they provide an accurate records of
what texts were studied and how they were understood. But they are
also very difficult to access: countless glossaries lie unpublished
in manuscript, the relations between them are unknown, and their
origins are obscure. The most important contribution to solving
these problems was made by Wallace Martin Lindsay (1858-1937), one
of the greatest classical scholars ever produced in the British
Isles, who in a pioneering series of articles identified the
principal glossaries and clarified their relationships; he
subsequently oversaw their publication in Glossaria Latina. So
comprehensive was Lindsay's work that the subject virtually stood
still for half a century; but recent advances in paleography and
Insular Latin studies have drawn scholarly attention to glossaries
once again. Any future work on glossaries must be based on
Lindsay's pioneering articles; to facilitate such work, these
articles have been provided with comprehensive indices of the Latin
lemmata and sources of the glossaries, together with an account of
recent work on medieval glossaries.
