"The conscientious revision of a dictionary demands the strict observance of the underlying philological and historical principles, stringent adherence to the textual tradition and constant attention to ongoing research. Published in 1969, the first edition observed these principles and provided significant inspiration for Old High German research. Since publication of the fifth edition, the dictionary has listed the most important scientific works that are of concern to Old High German texts. The vocabulary provided in this edition includes numerous additions from various texts, in particular from the oldest Williram translations, but also from minor texts that had not previously received sufficient attention. Necessary corrections and improvements were carried out again ensuring that the seventh edition also takes the current scientific requirements into account. Furthermore, it continues to provide reliable assistance to teachers and students of German, Nordic, Dutch, English, Frisian as well as Old Saxon and Medieval Latin studies, and those interested in Romance languages."
