Middle English
Dictionary __ "The print MED, completed in 2001, has been described
as "the greatest achievement in medieval scholarship in America." Its 15,000
pages offer a comprehensive analysis of lexicon and usage for the period
1100-1500, based on the analysis of a collection of over three million citation
slips, the largest collection of this kind available. This electronic version of
the MED preserves all the details of the print MED, but goes far beyond this, by
converting its contents into an enormous database, searchable in ways impossible
within any print dictionary." Well, I guess that said it all. - From University
