This Concordance is a complete wordlist of the Blickling homiletic
texts, which date from the late 10th century making them one of the
earliest extant examples of prose writings in English. Each word is
cited in standard dictionary form, expanded grammatically and
referenced by line and page number to R. J. Kelly's edition and
translation of The Blickling Homilies (Continuum, 2003). Frequently
occurring words, such as prepositions and conjunctions, are cited in
an Appendix, which also includes an outline of the principal
linguistic structures of Old English. Important features of this
Concordance include quick and straightforward cross referencing to the
homiletic texts; identifying words from earlier Anglo-Saxon dialects;
and the correction of scribal errors. The Concordance will be of
particular interest to linguistics, cultural historians and
researchers in various interdisciplinary fields.
