EXPLANATION OF REFERENCES,
		IN the following list a want of uniformity may be noticed in the case of some of the contractions used. This is due partly to modifications of Dr. Bosworth's forms, which it seemed convenient to make; partly to difierent conditions in respect to texts cited, which have been brought about while the work was in progress: some texts, that existed in MS. only, have been printed; of others, that were already printed, new editions have appeared, which were more convenient to refer to than were the old. Cross references are given below in these cases, Double references are given to passages cited from the poetry, to English editions and to Grein's Bibliothek der Angelsächsischen Poesie; in the later the contractions used are those to be found ,in Grein's Lexicon, and they are given together at the end of this list. Where a reference to any citation consists of more than one part (e. g. Bt. —; Fox —), the several parts are separated by a semi-colon: where after a citation several references are given, these are separated by a colon. When consecutive citations are taken from the same w.ork the full reference is given only with the first (e. g. Bt. is not repeated where consecutive citations a,re taken from Boethius; or if the reference be of one part, e.g. Nar. —, the Nar. is not repeated).
