Abstract
Extract Languages and dialects ... Before the name of a language or dialect: e = Early; 1 = Late; pr/Pr = Primitive Grammatical terms ... ‘s’ may be added where appropriate to form a plural Symbols involving letters ... Other symbols ... Old English texts: short titles and system of reference The abbreviations for, and the method of reference to, EO texts are those proposed in ‘Short titles of Old English texts’, by Bruce Mitchell, Christopher Ball, and Angus Cameron (ASE 4 (1975), 207–21, and ASE 8 (1979), 331–3). These depend on Ά List of Old English Texts’ by Angus Cameron (Plan, pp. 25–306). The whole basis of the system is that reference to Cameron’s ‘List’—which will form part of the first fascicle of the DOE—is inevitable for everything except the poetry and a few well-known prose texts. It is obviously impossible to reproduce all this material here. I can give only the short titles to the two groups excepted above, crave the reader’s indulgence for the inevitable inconvenience, and at the same time warn him that, unless otherwise stated, I use the texts specified in Cameron’s ‘List’ (1973), which sometimes differs from The List of Texts published in 1980 to accompany A Microfiche Concordance to Old English. But I can explain a few special points which may help him to recognize the short titles for some other prose texts.
