The Blickling Concordance by Richard Kelly

The Blickling Concordance by Richard Kelly

This concordance is a complete wordlist of the Blickling homiletic texts, which date from the late 10th century, making them one of the earliest examples of prose writings in English. Each word is cited in standard dictionary form, expanded grammatically and referenced by line and page number to R.J. Kelly's edition and translation of the Blickling Homilies also published by Continuum. Important features of this concordance include quick and straightforawrd cross-referencing to the homiletic texts; identifying words from earlier Anglo-Saxon dialects; and the correction of scribal errors.

His most significant works are Stone, Skin and Silver (1999), The Blickling Homilies (2003) and You're History! How People Make the Difference (2005).
