Lexicons of Early Modern English (LEME) is the robust research tool valued
greatly by lexical historians and researchers around the world. 

LEME has been setting the standard for modern linguistic research on the
English language since 1990 by providing researchers unprecedented access to
early books and manuscripts documenting the growth and development of the
English language. LEME is ever expanding and currently includes more than 808,
963 word-entries from 213 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.

To this date, LEME has been available in two versions – an open access version
that allows for simple searches on the multilingual lexical database and a
subscription based version, that provides a robust and full-featured scholarly
resource for advanced research into the entire lexical content of Early Modern
English.

In an effort to make this valuable research tool available to all researchers,
everywhere, the LEME Project team, University of Toronto Press and the
University of Toronto Libraries are pleased to announce that as of January 30,
2017, Lexicons of Early Modern English, and all of its functionality, will be
full open access.

Modern English (open access as of January 30, 2017) at
