Ordbog over det norrøne prosasprog - A Dictionary of Old Norse Prose.
Here we have the first volume. That is, from a-bam. In addition, here is Registre and OPN - Nøgle/Key.
Ordbog over det norrøne prosasprog (abbreviated ONP) – English title: A Dictionary of Old Norse Prose / older Danish name: Den Arnamagnæanske kommissions ordbog / in Icelandic: Orðobj Árnanefndar – is an ancient language dictionary with explanations in Danish and English. The dictionary contains a comprehensive inventory of the vocabulary of all Icelandic and Norwegian medieval texts in the open language: original and translated sagas, religious writings, encyclopedias, laws, documents and letters.
The dictionary is being prepared by the Rivers Committee in Copenhagen with funding from the Danish state, and preparations for its publication have been ongoing since 1939. The dictionary is intended to cover free Norwegian up to 1370 and Icelandic up to 1540; from that year is Oddur Gottskálksson's New Testament, the first Icelandic printed book to have survived, which is also the oldest work on which the Dictionary of the University of Iceland bases its vocabulary. The year 1370 is chosen as a reference for Norwegian texts because by then Norwegian had changed so much that Icelandic and Norwegian must be considered two separate languages. The work does not cover free Norwegian, as Finnur Jónsson had just completed his revision of the Lexicon Poeticum, which covers the poetic language.
Three volumes have been published: 1: a-bam (1995), 2: ban-da (2000) and 3: de-em (2004). The total number of volumes was originally planned to be eleven, but based on the proportion of the alphabet that has been published, the number of volumes could be over twenty. The publication of ONP in book form is currently on hold. A letter accompanying the third volume stated that the next 8–10 years would be spent digitizing the dictionary's databases (about 900,000 entries), and that the content of the first three volumes would be made available online.
In 1989, a key book was published, which contains a very detailed overview of the manuscript collection on which the dictionary is based, a detailed bibliography, etc. The key book was last updated in 2004 with a special edition, which also contains instructions on how to use the book.
The editors of the dictionary are Bent Chr. Jakobsen (editor-in-chief), Christoper Sanders, Helle Degnbol, Eva Rode and Þorbjörg Helgadóttir (as of October 2008).
