CHAPTER II

AUXILIARIES TO HISTORICAL STUDY

THE historian must turn to account all branches of knowledge, but there are certain studies, kindred to history, which he finds particularly useful. These are called by the Germans 'Hülfswissenschaften,' and by the French 'sciences auxiliaires.' Freeman (No. 7) calls them 'the satellites of history.' Their relations to history are well explained in Bernheim's Lehrbuch (No. 2), 5th edition, 279-323. For the literature of the subjects, see ibid.; Meister (No. 11a); Jahresberichte (No. 22); and the bibliographies of Dahlmann-Waitz and Monod (Nos. 28, 31).

§ 4. PHILOLOGY: DICTIONARIES AND

GLOSSARIES.

a. English, Nos. 188-99.
b. French, Nos. 200-209.
c. Latin, Nos. 210-15.
d. Celtic, Nos. 215a-n.

This section includes only those works which are of most service to students of English history. There is a useful catalogue of glossaries, etc., in W. W. Skeat's Etymological Dictionary of the English Language, new edition, Oxford, 1910, pp. xxx.-xli. In seeking the meanings of old words the historian is frequently thrown upon his own resources, for the existing dictionaries, especially of Low Latin and Anglo-French, are very incomplete. Help is often afforded by the brief glossaries appended to many of the volumes of the Rolls Series (for example, the Monumenta Gildhallæ, and the works of Higden, Pecock, Robert of Gloucester, and Robert of Brunne), or by the glossaries in the publications of the Selden and Surtees societies and in such works as Stevenson's Records of Nottingham, Höhlbaum's Hansisches Urkundenbuch, vol. iii., Gross's Gild Merchant, Nichols's edition
