Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Continental-Germanic Personal Names in England: In Old and Middle English Times, Inaugural Dissertation English personal names have been made the subject of numerous investigations from Camden´s time down to our days. Some of these, however, are very unreliable and may as a rule be characterized as amateur essays based on conjectures and popular conceptions rather than on scientific and linguistic research. The most obvious defect in these papers - in the majority of cases starting from present English in point of view of the name-forms and evidently intended for a large public - is a deficient knowledge of the stock of names from which the modern forms have mostly sprung, i.e. the personal names occurring in Old and Middle English records. In spite of numerous errors, the best of the works referred to is undoubtedly Bardsley´s Dictionary, in which is collected a fairly exhaustive material of Middle English p. ns, which has enabled him to trace the modern forms pretty accurately back to their Middle English substrata. Of works dealing with Old and Middle English personal names we may mention, in the first place, Searle´s Onomasticon, which is "a list of Anglo-Saxon proper names from the time of Beda to that of King John." This book is no doubt of great value as containing a large collection of names with references, but should be used with the utmost caution as the reviews of it have already shown.
