dc.descriptionFrom the first vision and first articulation of plans for national and period dictionaries of English to the completion of the Middle English Dictionary, decades, even lifetimes, have passed. Begun tentatively at Oxford and Cornell Universities, the project got underway in earnest at the University of Michigan in 1930. Seventy-one years later the last fascicle was sent to the publisher and thirteen volumes comprised of 55,000 entries and over 900,000 quotations were completed. "A Worlde of Wordes" honors the men and women, the process, and the scholarship responsible for this feat.
