Lexicons of Early Modern English is an ever-expanding historical database
offering scholars unprecedented access to early books and manuscripts
documenting the growth and development of the English language. 

LEME sets the standard for modern linguistic research on the English language.
LEME provides researchers with more than 754,000 word-entries from 209
monolingual, bilingual, and polyglot dictionaries, lexical encyclopedias,
hard-word glossaries, spelling lists, and lexically-valuable treatises
surviving in print or manuscript from the Tudor, Stuart, Caroline,
Commonwealth, and Restoration periods.

LEME users rave about the vastness of the database and the unparalleled access
to content and word meaning from within the context of the era, free from 20th
century ideas and interpretations.

Recently added to Lexicons of Early Modern English - http://bit.ly/_leme
- Mary Johnson, Madam Johnson’s Present (1755)
- Elisha Coles, The Compleat English Schoolmaster or the 
- Most Natural and Easie Method of Spelling English (1674)
- Benjamin N. Defoe, A New English Dictionary (1735) 
- Nathan Bailey, Universal Etymological English Dictionary (1737)
- White Kennett, Parochial Antiquities (1695)
- Ortus Vocabulorum (1500)

The addition of Ortus Vocabulorum completes LEME’s series of the four large
Latin and English dictionaries in manuscript and print at the end of the
fifteenth century (Promptorium Parvulorum, Catholicon Anglicum, Medulla
Grammatice in Pepys MS 2002, and Ortus).

Coming soon to LEME
- Henry Hexham, A Copious English and Netherdutch Dictionary (1641-42)

and their equivalents in languages such as French, Italian, Spanish, Latin,
Greek, Hebrew, and other tongues encountered then in Europe, America, and
Asia.
