A dictionary of the first or oldest words in the English language from the semi-Saxon period of A. D. 1250 to 1300. Consisting of an alphabetical inventory of every word found in the printed English literature of the 13th century. This book, "A dictionary of the first or oldest words in the English language", by Herbert Coleridge, is a replication of a book originally published before 1862. It has been restored by human beings, page by page, so that you may enjoy it in a form as close to the original as possible.
Read for personal research. I found this work of immense interest. This work was one of my resource sources while ghost authoring the historical fiction novel "I, Slave: 1746-1963" for E.MH Ratterman. I found this book's contents helpful and inspiring - number rating relates to the book's contribution to my needs. Overall, this work is also a good resource for the researcher and enthusiast.
