CONCORDANCE

Concordance

A concordance is an alphabetical list of the principal words used in a book or body of work, with their immediate contexts. Because of the time, difficulty, and expense involved in creating a concordance in the pre-computer era, only works of special importance, such as the Vedas, Bible, Qur'an or the works of Shakespeare, had concordances prepared for them.
