Historical Lexicography of the German Language Vol. 1

". . . the most audacious undertaking is the onomasiological dictionary based on the Früneuhochdeutsches Wörterbuch. . . . The overall impression left by this collection of essays is one of varied and vigorous activity in lexicography. . . . This volume allows the superbly qualified authors to step onto center stage and demonstrate what they are creating for our future reference; it allows them to pass on a better understanding of the limitations and strengths of their products; their contributions may, if they fall on fertile ground, bring forth manifold discussion and cooperation. . .
