First published in 1874, this landmark dictionary of old Icelandic
is both authoritative and comprehensive. It offers thousands of
illustrative quotations, full descriptions of pronunciation for
every letter, and a detailed outline of grammar that includes the
old Icelandic alphabet, word formation, and spelling. The 52-page
supplement contains a list of additional words and references from
the eleventh century to the mid-fourteenth century. An essential
point of reference for any student of old Icelandic, supplement
author Sir William A. Craigie stated in 1957 that 'though the
dictionary is mainly intended for the old authors, both in prose
and poetry, it endeavours to embrace an account of the whole
language, old and new'.
