medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
In addition: if you are comfortable with French, there is also Albert
Blaise, Dictionnaire latin-francais des auteurs chretiens, for
ecclesiastical Latin. L. Quicherat and A.Daveluy, Dictionnaire
latin-francais is good for the transition period, since in some cases they
give usage up to the 8th century. You can try looking in auctions and garage
sales around universities and religious establishments: I was lucky enough
to find a copy in a box of mostly unusable old books I bought for 5$
(Canadian yet!), and find it very useful.
