Happy Saint
David's Day, everyone! -- George
As of today, 1 March 2006, at 12 noon,
the Anglo-Norman Dictionary is freely available online, with no restrictions.
The site (www.anglo-norman.net)
contains A-F of the revised second edition, and G-Z of the first edition. This
corresponds to (for the first edition) fascicles 3-7 of the work originally
published by MHRA (between 1977 and 1992) and (for the second edition) A-E,
published by MHRA in 2005.
The new version of F, completed in 2005, is
only available online. A revision of G is currently under way, to be followed
by H (in 2007).
The online edition is thus a hybrid work, but
covering the whole alphabet. It contains a total of over 22,000 headwords,
illustrated by 120,000 quotations. The entirety of the online dictionary is
searchable in a variety of ways: by words in quotations, by headwords, and by
English glosses of quotations/senses. The dictionary itself is accompanied by
and linked to a growing corpus of Anglo-Norman texts; by an updated
bibliography (itself linked to the DEAF in Heidelberg); and by extensive
documentation about the site and the materials it contains.
