Revue de presse

This neatly arranged and comprehensive treatment of the material with a full glossary and a Latin-Old English wordlist will make this two-volume edition an indispensable source of information for a wide academic audience from biblical scholars and students of English church history to language typologists. (Medium Ævum)

Immense display of scholarship ... this veritable mountain of scholarship (followed by a beautiful glossary and Latin/OE wordlist), is an altogether welcome addition to the top shelf. (Bryn Mawr Classical Review)
