- Bosworth and Toller Old English Dictionary
(1) http://www.ling.upenn.edu/~kurisuto/germanic/oe_bosworthtoller_about.htm
Scanned and is available online, provided
you're willing to deal with the
inevitable typos that result from scanning
OE with OCR. It is actually quite
useful once you learn how to use it.
- A consolidated listing of free online editions
of Bosworth & Toller, which is the primary
reference on the Old English lexicon. The
Toronto Dictionary of Old English will eventually
supersede Bosworth & Toller, but completion
of the DOE is probably some decades down the
road. This is a normal pace for major dictionary
projects.
- There are two projects working on creating
an online text version of Bosworth/Toller.
One is the:
- 2) Germanic Lexicon Project:
http://www.ling.upenn.edu/~kurisuto/germanic/language_resources.html
You can search Bosworth/Toller, or download
the whole text, or view images of the pages.
The main drawback is that only 44% of the
pages have been fully hand corrected at present
count (the percentage is always slowly
rising as volunteers correct more; and even
the uncorrected pages have actually had lots
of global corrections made). The search engine
also searches the uncorrected pages as well,
but you might miss some hits if the word you
wanted is mangled. The more people who volunteer,
the sooner we'll have 100% of the pages hand-corrected.
- Some people prefer to look at the original
page images. The Germanic Lexicon Project's
search interface lets you search the text,
but provides a link in each entry to view
the original page image.
- 3) The other main project, (directed by
Bekie Marett) is the online: Anglo-Saxon Dictionary
http://dontgohere.nu/oe/as-bt/
There are some differences in philosophies
between the two projects: for example, Bekie
doesn't release the online text of a page
until it has been corrected. The former releases
the uncorrected text as the team considers
it is more useful than nothing until a corrected
version is made. There's room for both philosophies.
Bekie's project includes the 1898 main text
(1302 pages). The Germanic Lexicon Project
version includes both the 1898 main text and
the 1921 supplement volume (768 pages).
- All the other online versions derive from
the Germanic Lexicon Project version in one
way or another.
Here are the other projects:
- 4) The online edition of Bosworth &
Toller page images located at: http://beowulf.engl.uky.edu/~kiernan/BT/Bosworth-Toller.htm
is a project by Kevin Kiernan at the University
of Kentucky.
The supporting software, Ebind, was written
by Alvin Pollock and Daniel Pitti for UC Berkeley.
A really nice web-based interface that allows
you to browse the static page images of Bosworth
& Toller (not the online text). The page
images are from the Germanic Lexicon Project.
5) David Finucane’s recently written
Mac OSX Bosworth & Toller wrapper program
that allows you to easily search the text.
This has the great advantage that you aren't
slowed down by waiting for the data to come
across the web.
The text itself is from the Germanic Lexicon
Project. Here's the link to this app: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/28221
If you have an ibook or a powerbook BT is
free.

- Key to English Place-Names, A
http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/english/ins/epntest/keytoepn.html
'A Key to English Place-Names' is a database
maintained at the Institute for Name-Studies
at the University of Nottingham. The website
is intended to provide an up-to-date guide
to the interpretation of the names of England's
cities, towns and villages, drawing on the
work of the English Place-Name Society and
other researchers. There is an
interactive map that allows the user to search
for a place name by pre-1974 local government
boundaries or alternatively a text search
can be made.
