Glossae. 1969 The ffachtendonck Psaltery—an interlinear translationof the Book of Psalms and of several canticles and creedsdating from the ninth or tenth century—survives only in afew relatively late fragmentary copies known collectivelyas the Old Low and Central Franconian Psalms and Glosses.It was one of the earliest translations of the psalms intoa Germanic dialect. The extant fragments provide the mostextensive textual evidence of those early translations.The dialects that these fragments attest occupy a criticalposition at the intersection of the expansive Upper Franconiandialects to the south, the receding continental Ingvaeonicdialects to the north and west, and the Low Saxon dialectsto the east, revealing phonological, morphological, and lexical features of all three dialect complexes.My association with this material coranenced in 1962,when I set about collecting, sorting, and filing data formy doctoral dissertation, which appeared in 1964 under thetitle Old Low Fvanaonian Phonology. The need for a completelisting of the lexicon became apparent immediately after thepublication of my The Old Low Franconian Psalms and Glosses(1969).
