SC - Dictionaries... wow!

[Alderton, Philippa]

Someone provided this URL a while ago, for a site with links to MANY 
online dictionaries.  
http://www.facstaff.bucknell.edu/rbeard/diction.html

I dutifully bookmarked the section with the Spanish dictionaries, but 
somehow never went back to look at it more closely.  Tonight, I was 
puzzling over two different words that both mean "cabbage", and 
decided to see if something online could help.  I surfed on over, and was 
floored by what I found.  The Spanish section contains the 1992 edition 
of the dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy, and a searchable 
facsimile of an early 18th century Spanish dictionary.  Okay, both of 
these are more recent than the materials I'm trying to translate, but they 
give me a *heck* of a lot more detail and context than the 
Spanish/English desk dictionary I've been working with.

Some of the other languages are exciting, too.  There's a searchable 
version of the 1694 edition of the dictionary of the Academie Francaise 
(and two later editions).  There are dictionaries for Catalan and medieval 
Latin and Gothic and Icelandic and Low German and... am I babbling?

Anyway, whoever posted that wonderful URL to this this, THANK YOU, 
and may the diety of your choice shower blessings on you and yours...
