This book is a dictionary of Old Nubian. In marshalling the evidence for
the dictionary, the author has allowed the texts to speak for
themselves, with a minimum of theoretical constraint and bias. Whenever
they are available, the author has given the Greek Vorlage and any
parallel Coptic version, and he has also added cognates from the modern
Nubian dialects. There are three indexes, the first giving the English
correspondences with Old Nubian, as presented in the dictionary, the
second and third indexes doing the same for Greek and Coptic,
respectively. Lists of names of diverse categories complete the work.
