Dictionary of Medieval Latin from British Sources : ウィキペディア英語版 | Dictionary of Medieval Latin from British Sources
The ''Dictionary of Medieval Latin from British Sources'' is a lexicon of Medieval Latin, published by Oxford University Press for the British Academy, and sometimes referred to as simply the ''Dictionary of Medieval Latin'' or the ''Medieval Latin Dictionary''. After decades of preparatory work, work on the dictionary itself was begun in 1965, and it was published in fascicules between 1975 and 2013. ==History==
In 1913, Robert Whitwell, a prolific contributor to the OED, petitioned the British Academy to use the imminent International Congress of Historical Studies to propose a replacement for the standard dictionary of medieval Latin, Du Cange's ''Glossarium'' (1678).〔Robert Jowitt Whitwell, "Mediaeval Latin", letter to ''The Spectator'', 1 February 1913.〕 Whitwell's idea was taken up in 1920 by the new International Union of Academies, which decided in 1924 that member academies should produce dictionaries based on those medieval Latin texts produced in geographic areas corresponding to their respective present-day territories, whilst also furnishing the material for an international ''Novum Glossarium''.〔Union Académique Internationale (project page ) 〕 To this end, the British Academy appointed two committees to direct the collection of quotations, one covering the sixth to eleventh centuries for the ''Novum Glossarium'' and the other covering 1066 to 1600 for a dictionary of "late medieval British Latin". By 1932 the Academy felt that they could usefully publish the first fruits of the project, which appeared in 1934 as the ''Medieval Latin Word-List from British and Irish Sources'';〔James Houston Baxter and Charles Johnson, "Introduction", ''Medieval Latin Word-List from British and Irish Sources''.〕 a ''Revised Word-List'' appeared in 1965.〔Ronald E. Latham, ''Revised Medieval Latin Word-List from British and Irish Sources'' (1965).〕
