overcondensed
Language: English
Part of speech: adj
Etymology: From over- + condensed.

text: The style is overcondensed, yet there are repetitions. The historical chapter is out of place. The author shows surprising ignorance of the American social hygiene movement.
ref: 1922, Ernest Watson Cushing, The American Journal of Sociology, University of Chicago Press, page 527:
text: “The introduction is for the most part given over to the editor’s own view of Molière, which is challenging and original but so overcondensed that it will he fully intelligible only to readers who are already quite familiar with the subject. The others, for whom the book is presumably intended, will find only in its last two pages a sketchy overview of modern Molidre criticism to prepare them for what lies ahead. The editor’s attempt to impose some order on his materials is only partially successful. . . . An appendix which succinctly describes eighteen modern performances of Molière is the most useful single part of the book. The selections are not wholly representative. . . . The hook’s worst fault, however, lies elsewhere. A collection of this kind makes rather confusing reading at best unless the reader is given considerably more guidance than is available here. . . . All the French is translated and most of the translations are deplorable."

Senses: examples: text: His subject is a "strange image" among the llth century drawings of the Winchester school, which he calls a quinity. But what is a quinity?

ref: 1997, Ernst Kantorowicz: Erträge Der Doppeltagung Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität, Frankfurt, page 100:
text: In 1947, for example, in a wonderful study of the "quinity" of Winchester, Kantorowicz interprets an astonishing sketch in a book of offices (officia) copied in Winchester at the beginning of the eleventh century. He invents the term quinity to describe a curious composition showing the Holy Family, in which there appear two identical representations of the divinity side by side.
ref: 2001, Kantorowicz: Stories of a Historian:
text: It is thus of particular interest to find the Trinity and the Incarnation combined in one medallion in the so- called Quinity of Winchester, of 1023-1035 (fol.75v- fig. 119)195. The Virgin and Child, who holds a book, is next to the two similar figures of God the Father and God the Son, who are sitting on a bow and also holding books.
