handbookn.

Brit.

/ˈhan(d)bʊk/, U.S.

/ˈhæn(d)ˌbʊk/

Forms: see hand n. and book n.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; partly modelled on a Latin lexical item, and partly modelled on a Greek lexical item. Etymons: hand n., book n.

Etymology: < hand n. + book n., partly after post-classical Latin manualis (short for liber manualis : see manual n.) and partly after post-classical Latin enchiridion and its etymon Hellenistic Greek ἐγχειρίδιον (for both, see enchiridion n.). Compare Dutch handboek (1513), Middle Low German hantbōk , German Handbuch (14th cent. as hantbuch ; apparently beginning of the 18th cent. or earlier in more general application), Old Icelandic handbók , Old Swedish handbōk (Swedish handbok ). The revival of the word in more general use in sense 1a in the early 19th cent. is probably after German.

a. Originally: a book small enough to be easily portable and intended to be kept close to hand, typically one containing a collection of passages important for reference or a compendium of information on a particular subject, esp. a book of religious instruction (now historical). Later also more generally: any book (usually but not necessarily concise) giving information such as facts on a particular subject, guidance in some art or occupation, instructions for operating a machine, or information for tourists. Cf. enchiridion n.Frequently in book titles; earliest, according to William of Malmesbury, in the title of the manuscript anthology compiled by King Alfred in the late 9th cent. (see quot. a1200, and compare quots. c1367, 1570, a1695), although the English title is not attested in contemporary sources (in Asser's Latin Life of Alfred it is referred to thus: quem enchiridion suum, id est manualem librum, nominari uoluit; Byrhtferð (see quot. OE), who knew Asser's Life, is probably echoing this passage in the title of his own work).
