[gothic-l] Hey Bertil

[Bertil Häggman]

My edition of _Fornnordiskt lexikon_ is from 1983 (2nd ed).
Ohlmarks then hoped that the encyclopedia could
in some way be a modernized Swedish version of the old Johannes Hoops
_Reallexikon der germanischen Altertumskunde_. But I personally
don't think Ohlmarks is quite up to that standard.

In the 2nd ed. introduction there are no mentions of an English
or a French edition. Frankly I have never heard of such editions.
