  • Steven Krise hand-corrected the entire online glossary against xeroxed copies of the original. Thanks, Steven!
  • David Starner later scanned the entire book and contributed the images. Thanks, David!
  • Sean Crist did postprocessing on the image files contributed by David Starner (Oct 2002).

About the glossary

Steven Krise writes the following:

I've finished proofreading and correcting the OHG glossary. I also wrote a quick and dirty program to check all my HTML encodings and to ensure that all entries end in a period. I normalized a couple of entries that end with a bang (!) in Wright's glossary for the sake of uniformity in the electronic version.

The next step on this text is to mark it up with XML tags to show its structure. Feel free to undertake this project.

Images

Part of the image for page 25 is missing. If you have a copy of the second edition (1906) of this text, it would be great if you could scan page 25 and contribute it.

Please feel free to do OCR on the non-glossary pages!
