Abstract

Magnús Snædal has chosen a modest and understated title for this significant work. The thought of a published concordance often brings to mind earlier times, a volume of reproduced computer printout with endless pages of KWIC (Key Word in Context) format, usually arranged without regard to proper lemmatization or disambiguation. But Snædal has not chosen the easy path. Instead he has used state-of-the-art technology and labored long and hard to make a valuable contribution to Germanic studies in general and Gothic scholarship in particular.
