Lexicons of Early Modern English now includes over 713,000 word-entries!

Lexicons of Early Modern English is a growing historical database offering
scholars unprecedented access to early books and manuscripts documenting the
growth and development of the English language.  

 

With the recent additions of the immense Latin-English text, Ortus
Vocabulorum, White Kennett's very detailed etymological work, Parochial
Antiquities (1695), and Nathan Bailey's 900-page Universal Etymological
English Dictionary (1737), this incredible resource now boasts more than
713,000 word entries! 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
<http://leme.library.utoronto.ca/lexicons/record.cfm?id=26> ,
<http://leme.library.utoronto.ca/lexicons/record.cfm?id=21> Catholicon
Anglicum,  <http://leme.library.utoronto.ca/lexicons/record.cfm?id=537>
Medulla Grammatice in Pepys MS 2002, and
<http://leme.library.utoronto.ca/lexicons/record.cfm?id=35> Ortus).
