Synopsis

Old English (Ænglisc) is the earliest recorded form of the English language. It was brought to Britain by Anglo-Saxon settlers in the mid-5th century. The first literary works in Old English date from the mid 7th century. Spelling was not standardised but varied by region and dialect over time.

Contained in this book:

Precepts (A Father's Instruction To His Son), The Order of the World (On The Wonders of Creation), The Gifts of Men (Of The Endowments and Pursuits of Men), Charm 1 For Unfruitful Land (Æcerbot)

The texts are presented in their original Old English, with a literal word-for-word line-by-line translation, and a Modern English translation, all side-by-side. In this way, it is possible to see and feel how Old English worked and how it has evolved. Also included are individual word lists for each text, and an overall word list.

This book is designed to be of use and interest to anyone with a passion for the Old English language, Anglo-Saxon history, or languages and history in general.
