Description :

Anglo-Norman, the form of French used in medieval Britain from 1066 until the mid-fifteenth century, is a major component of English. It is crucial to historians of English; as an important dialect of medieval French (in which the earliest French literary texts were written), it forms a key element in any account of the history of French vocabulary. The language of a major European power in the Middle Ages, Anglo-Norman was the medium for a vast array of historical, administrative, and legal documentation.

The Anglo-Norman Dictionary (1977-1992) is the only guide to this difficult vocabulary. The first half of this Dictionary is nothing like as comprehensive as the second half (from P onwards); the project’s ultimate aim is a complete revision, which will probably produce a dictionary two to three times the size of the first edition. The first part (A-E) was published and put online in 2005; with AHRC support, the project team has been progressively revising (for an online-only edition) from F onwards, with funding already secured as far as M.
