Corpora: Query about Complete Corpus of Old English

[Oxford Text Archive]

>I am trying to find out whether the Complete Corpus of Old English
comprises all existing full texts or
>samples from the texts only.

Dear Margaret,

The Oxford Text Archive distributes, on request and free of charge, the 1998
edition of the Complete Corpus of Old English. In the TEI header that
accompanies the Corpus it states:

The Corpus contains all surviving OE material, excluding some variant texts.
The texts have been divided into meaningful units, usually editorial
sentences.

For full details of the sources used in compilation of this Corpus, the
following DOE publications should be consulted, e.g.: Cameron, A List of Old
English Texts in Frank and Cameron, eds., A Plan for the Dictionary of Old
English (Toronto, 1973)
Healey and Venezky, A Microfiche Concordance to Old English: The List of
Texts and Index of Editions</TITLE> (Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval
Studies, 1980; rev. 1985,1995.

If you email the OTA I can send you a file which list all the texts contined
within the Corpus,

Best wishes,
Alan Morrison
