A English Vocabulary APPLICATION description
This glossary does not aim at completeness, and it is not primarily a glossary of rare or 'hard' words. A good working knowledge of Middle English depends less on the possession of an abstruse
vocabulary than on familiarity with the ordinary machinery of expression - with the precise forms and meanings that common words may assume; with the uses of such innocent-looking little words as the
prepositions of and for; with idiomatic phrases, some fresh-minted and some worn thin, but all likely to recur again and again in an age whose authors took no pains to avoid usual or hackneyed turns
of expression. These are the features of the older language which an English reader is predisposed to pass over, satisfied with a half-recognition: and space seldom permits of their adequate
treatment in a compendious general dictionary or the word-list to a single text. So in making a glossary for use with a book itself designed to be a preparation for the reading of complete texts, I
have given exceptionally full treatment to what may rightly be called the backbone of the language.
