Dictionary of Medieval Latin from British Sources

The Dictionary of Medieval Latin from British Sources (DMLBS) is a British Academy research project at the University of Oxford.

Based entirely on original research, the DMLBS is the most comprehensive dictionary of Medieval Latin to have been produced and the first ever to focus on British Medieval Latin. 

Completed in print in 2013, the DMLBS is a definitive survey of the vocabulary of one of the most important languages in British and European history.

⠀

Originally published in 17 parts between 1975 and 2013, the Dictionary of Medieval Latin from British Sources was reissued in 2018 in a three-volume set, entirely reset, with corrections and additions incorporated seamlessly.
