PREFACE THIS investigation of the English group of glossaries aims at the standard required in the twentieth century for scien- tific accuracy. A favourable specimen of what may be called nineteenth century demonstration is Gruber's paper in vol. xx (1907) of the Romanische Forschungen, pp. 393-494: Die Hauptquellen des Corpus-, Epinaler und Erfurter Glossares. Gruber provides much that interests the reader, and his evidence, e.g. for the use of an Amiatinus text for the Bible glosses, will con\-ince anyone who does not take the trouble of verifying each statement. But his method of proving, let us say, a Bible source for a Corpus gloss seems at this date somewhat precarious. The mere occurrence of the word in Dutripon's Concordance of the Vulgate appears to have been deemed suflBcient ; although the danger of this method stands revealed when the same word turns up later in his list of (let us say) Orosius glosses. Clearly, such demonstration is based not on rock but on sand. Hessels' careful apographs of the Corpus and Leyden Glos- saries have made it possible to make this investigation with a hope of success, and one wonders why the problem has not been solved before. There were apparently two obstacles. The presence of batches (corresponding to the sections of Leid.) in the Epinal and Erfurt Glossaries was not detected. And no one seems to have thought that an English compiler would be likely to borrow some material from already existing Continental glossaries (Abstrusa, Abolita, etc.), while he took the remainder from marginalia in English MSS. of authors (Orosius, the Bible, etc.). Once these two simple facts are seen, the rest is easy. Almost too easy, for now and then one is tempted to forget the virtue * aliqua nescire.' May, 1921. W. M. LINDSAY.
The huge increase in the expense of printing, which threatened to prevent altogether or postpone indefinitely the publication of these pages, has forced me to discard the elaborate indexes intended for them. This postscript gives opportunity of mentioning new evidence of the Anglosaxon re-casting of interpretations. That U 299 was originally Usia : vermis porci (cf. Isid. Etym. 12, 5, 16) is proved by the presence of this all-Latin item in a small list of glosses on fol. 42 of Petrograd F. v. vi 3, a MS. of the beginning of the ninth century, since the next gloss but one is Utiofesion (=U304).
