アイヌ言語研究の貴重書を集めたこの集成は、刊行後アイヌ研究者のみならず言語学者、日本語学者など学会から大きな反響を集めています。キリスト教宣教師が17世紀より開始したアイヌ語語彙収集は、18世紀になるとより体系的な学問としての側面を見せはじめ、辞書編纂へと発展してゆきます。これらのアイヌ語研究は19世紀末より北海道に住みアイヌ研究を続けた英国人John Batchelorにより頂点を迎え、金田一京助らその後の日本人のアイヌ研究に多大な影響を与えたとされます。この集成は、主要な語彙集、辞書を年代を追って収録すると共に、ヨ－ロッパ人により集められ翻訳されたアイヌの詩、民話、聖書、及び言語研究論文を幅広く集めています。Batchelor, Chamberlainなどによる基本文献はもとより、入手の極めて困難なKlaproth, Pfiszmaier, 及びRadlinski, Dobrotvorskiiの辞書等を網羅、現在これだけの資料を原書で集めることはほとんど不可能です。巻頭には、ヨ－ロッパのアイヌ語研究史に関する詳細な解説文が編者Refsing 自身により書き下ろされています。
