Welcome to the digital edition of the Bosworth-Toller Anglo-Saxon Dictionary

26 July 2010


After a few more hiccups a new feature again:

  • headwords that appear both in Bosworth-Toller and Wright's Old English Grammar (2nd ed.) are now interlinked. Entries like teón now feature links under the Morphological analysis tab that open a corresponding page in the Grammar without leaving the entry page.

Sorry for the short black-out, the server was updated without any notice (which crashed the site). All should be up & running now.

Several updates happened meanwhile:

  • hundreds of small edits - typo weeding
  • thousands of new morpohological tags (mostly thanks to Misa)
  • scanned pages can be now viewed during edits
  • entries now show both realted entries from the two volumes but also all linking entries (parts of paradigms, derive forms, variant spellings, etc.)
  • search engine overhaul
    • the search field to the left now ignores the differences in diacritics or thorn/ash as well as hyphens in compounds
    • if there are no matches against headwords, full-text search of the whole entries kicks in

This is the first beta-version of the site and we will be glad for your feedback. You can reach us through the general Contact Form, or at the Forums.

Please accept our apologies for the inexcusably long time this site has taken to construct and the data behind it to process. We hope you will not be very much disappointed.
