Lexicons <strong>of</strong> Early Modern English (LEME) gives<br />

scholars unprecedented access to early books and<br />

manuscripts that document the English language<br />

from the beginning <strong>of</strong> printing in England to<br />

1702. With over 150 monolingual, bilingual, and<br />

polyglot dictionaries and glossaries (in which either<br />

source or target language is English), as well as linguistic<br />

treatises, and encyclopedic or topical work<br />

LEME provides exciting opportunities for research<br />

for historians <strong>of</strong> the English language. A half-million<br />

word-entries devised by contemporary speakers<br />

<strong>of</strong> early modern English describe the meaning <strong>of</strong><br />

words, and their equivalents in languages such as<br />

French, Italian, Spanish, Latin, Greek, Hebrew,<br />

and other tongues encountered then in Europe,<br />

America, and Asia. LEME <strong>of</strong>fers:<br />

• searchable word-entries (simple, wildcard,<br />

Boolean, and proximity)<br />

• browsable page-by-page transcriptions <strong>of</strong> the lexicons,<br />

indexed by date, author, title, and subject<br />

• a selection-list <strong>of</strong> editorially-lemmatized headwords<br />

• lists <strong>of</strong> headwords unique to each lexical text in<br />

the database<br />

• bibliographies <strong>of</strong> over 800 primary lexical texts,<br />

and secondary historical and critical literature,<br />

with biographical information on lexicographers<br />

• introduction, help, and information on editorial<br />

procedures<br />
