I have little to add to Peter Biller's references, except for F.
Tremblay, Les glossaires dans les manuscrits medievaux, in _Cahiers des
etudes anciennes_, 8 (1978) 159-77. Osbern of Gloucester's _Derivationes _
also has gained a lot of scholarly attention lately (cf. P. Gatti, in _XIV
Congresso Internazionale di Studi Umanistichi_, ed. S. Troiani, Sassoferrato
1994, 103-14). And of course there are editions, in the _Corpus
glossariorum latinorum_, ed. G. Loewe, G. Goetz, 8 vols. Leipzig 1888-1923,
and _Glossaria latina_, ed. W.-M. Lindsay
a.o., Paris 1920s-30s. But before you start out, hoe exactly would you
*define* "dictionary" ?
