Recently added to LEME:<br />

John Ray’s A Collection <strong>of</strong> English Words not Generally Used (London, 1674),<br />

a group <strong>of</strong> specialized glossaries with 2,128 word-entries. They explain dialectal<br />

words, southern and northern, words for fishes and birds, and terms <strong>of</strong> art in mining.<br />

Coming soon to LEME:<br />

Peter Levins’ Manipulus Vocabulorum (London, 1570), a dictionary <strong>of</strong> 8,940<br />

English-Latin word-entries, organized by English rhyme-endings (with accentuation).<br />

This analyzed text owes much to Huloet (added in 2009) and replaces the simple<br />

transcription now in the LEME database.<br />

John Rider’s Bibliotheca Scholastica, an English-Latin dictionary first published by<br />

the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> Oxford in 1589.<br />

Catholicon Anglicum (ca. 1475), an English-Latin dictionary from Lord Monson’s<br />

manuscript, reconstructed from a nineteenth-century Early English Text Society<br />

edition. The earliest such lexicon surviving in the language, holding some 7,180<br />

word-entries, distinguishes itself by the extensive use <strong>of</strong> Latin synonyms in<br />

explanations.<br />
