size=2>The publication of the final volume of the <I>Woordenboek van het
Middeleeuws Latijn der Noordelijke Nederlanden</I> (Dictionary of Medieval Latin
of the <st1:place w:st="on">Northern Netherlands</st1:place>) marks the
completion of a scholarly project that has lasted more than 40 years. The
complete Lexicon was presented on 8 September in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">The Hague</st1:place></st1:City> to the president of the Royal
Netherlands Academy of Sciences (KNAW), Professor Frits van Oostrom. The
5500-page Lexicon is an indispensable tool for all historians, linguists and
philologists, whose work on the Middle Ages involves using Latin source texts
from the Netherlands (in the broad sense, meaning composed by Netherlanders, but
also sources written about or in the Netherlands) from the general period
800-1500 A.D. The Lexicon offers extended citations from the source texts to
elucidate meanings and all quotations are linked back to a list of sources.
Given that many of these sources cannot be easily consulted, the Lexicon itself
serves as a source text, increasing its practical utility. The Lexicon is
published by Brill Academic Publishers of Leiden and forms part of a joint
enterprise of the European academies of sciences, which aims to replace the only
existing medieval Latin dictionary, that of Du Cange of 1688. Already in the
1920s it had been agreed that each country would make its own dictionary of the
Latin used in the medieval ages within its modern boundaries. The
<st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Netherlands</st1:place></st1:country-region> had to wait until the
1960s for work to commence on its Lexicon, under the direction of editor
Johannes W. Fuchs. After Fuchs’ death the current editors, Olga Weijers and
Marijke Gumbert-Hepp continued his work. Since 1992 the Lexicon has been based
in the Huygens Institute of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Sciences. The
complete Lexicon, the first fascicle of which appeared in 1970, consists of 8
large volumes and a supplement.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>
