This dictionary will serve as an aid to anyone reading Middle English. Professor Skeat wrote in his original Preface that this work is "intended to meet, in some measure, the requirements of those who wish to make some study of Middle-English, and who find a difficulty in obtaining such assistance as will enable them to find out the meanings and etymologies of the words most essential to their purpose." The small size and cost of this bound print edition makes it both useful and affordable to casual readers, high school and college students, and even scholars. Anyone interested in medieval studies will benefit from adding this little wonder of a resource to their personal library.
