Subject: Geiriadur Prifysgol Cymru completed

Geiriadur Prifysgol Cymru, the great Welsh historical dictionary, has
been completed after over eighty years' work. The project began in
1921 with the first 27 years being spent on collecting material for
the dictionary. The first 64-page part appeared in 1950, and the
final part (the 61st) was published at the end of 2002. Complete sets
(4 volumes) of the dictionary can now be ordered through bookshops or
directly from the University of Wales Press for 150 pounds sterling
until the end of February 2003, when the price will revert to the
usual 190 pounds.

Work began in January 2002 on re-editing the A-B section of the
Dictionary, first edited in a very concise manner in the 1950s, and
the first draft of this work is available online at
http://www.wales.ac.uk/dictionary/gpc_pdfs.htm. The second edition
will also be published in parts, and a shorter electronic version is
also in preparation.

For full details, please see the Dicitonary's website at:

so great that some volumes are currently being reprinted. There may
be a delay of several weeks.]
