Description
Lexicons of Early Modern English (LEME) gives scholars unprecedented access to early books and manuscripts that document the English language from the beginning of printing in England to 1702. With over 150 monolingual, bilingual, and polyglot dictionaries and glossaries (in which either source or target language is English), as well as linguistic treatises, and encyclopedic or topical work LEME provides exciting opportunities for research for historians of the English language. A half-million word-entries devised by contemporary speakers of early modern English describe the meaning of words, and their equivalents in languages such as French, Italian, Spanish, Latin, Greek, Hebrew, and other tongues encountered then in Europe, America, and Asia. LEME offers:
  • searchable word-entries (simple, wildcard, Boolean, and proximity)
  • browsable page-by-page transcriptions of the lexicons, indexed by date, author, title, and subject
  • a selection-list of editorially-lemmatized headwords
  • lists of headwords unique to each lexical text in the database
  • bibliographies of over 800 primary lexical texts, and secondary historical and critical literature, with biographical information on lexicographers
  • introduction, help, and information on editorial procedures
