Foreword
The present volume of the CAD follows in general the pattern established in Vol. 6 (H).
Only in minor points such as the organization of the semantic section, and especially in the
lay-out of the printed text, have certain simplifications and improvements been introduced
which are meant to facilitate the use of the book.
On p. 149ff. additions and corrections to Vol. 6 are listed and it is planned to continue this
practice in the subsequent volumes of the CAD in order to list new words and important
new references, as well as to correct mistakes made in previous volumes. The Supplement
Volume will collect and republish alphabetically all that material.
The Provisional List of Bibliographical Abbreviations has likewise been brought a jour.
The same staff as in the preceding volume (Vol. 6, H) has collaborated on the present.
Erica Reiner, however, has assumed a number of editorial duties in addition to her share
of writing the articles. The efficient organization of the clerical work by Miss Elizabeth
Bowman, Assistant to the Editor, has greatly expedited the progress of the work.
Thanks are also due to Prof. W. G. Lambert, University of Toronto, who has read the
manuscript and suggested a number of improvements.

Provisional List of Bibliographical Abbreviations
The following list of text editions, periodicals, standard publications, etc., is meant to supplement the

This provisional list will be kept a jour in the subsequent volumes of the CAD until, in Volume 1 (A),
a complete list will be published with all bibliographical information.
The present list also contains the titles of the lexical series as prepared for publication by B. Lands-
berger, or under his supervision, or in collaboration with him.
