Summary: Inspirational
Comment: As a writer of fantasy fiction, I found this book very helpful as a research tool in regard to words and terms that have fallen into disuse. A number of times I said, "So that's what that thing is called!" Also, as I flipped through the pages, I found terms that inspired new ideas in my novels.

The book is a compendium of theological and secular terms, both important to the time frame in which I write. A great overall resource!

Rating: 5
Summary: A wonderful source of tidbit for history writers!!!
Comment: Easy print to read - a big help!! hehee. A-Z of interesting medieval words, giving all sorts of little details that historical writers just love, though lacking dates of origin of the words.

Also, of interest to people just interested in the period.
A Must for any SCA-er!!!

Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent resource for historical writers
Comment: A wonderful book of medieval words and their meanings. With diagrams and drawings scattered about.

I have found this a very handy book when needing words and their meanings that have fallen into disuse, but much needed by writers of period pieces.
