| The Old Dutch Dictionary is a project of the Institute for Dutch Lexicology (INL) in Leiden. It describes the Dutch vocabulary roughly between 500 and 1200. The collected material, the so-called Old Dutch Corpus, contains over 26,000 attestations, as well as around 15,000 toponyms, which are to be incorporated in ca. 4500 entries. In the Old Dutch Corpus are included the Wachtendonck Psalter and the Leiden Willeram, the Mittelfränkische Reimbibel and a number of shorter texts and fragments. Furthermore, textual and glossarial material has been taken from other sources, such as the Toponymical Dictionary, the Lexcion of Dutch Toponyms until 1200, the Slicher van Bath Collection (published in TNTL), the Gysseling Collection (owned by the Royal Academy of Dutch Language and Literature in Gent), the Blok Collection (on loan at the INL) and a number of texts plus glossarial material in various publications, such as Diederik van den Elzas? Toltarief of 1167. The editorial team consists of dr. T.H. Schoonheim (editor in chief), drs. K. Louwen, dr. M.A. Mooijaart, dr. A. Quak (editors), J. Vonk and Th.P.F. Wortel (lexilogical assistants). The Old Dutch Dictionary has been designed primarily as a database and will be available in the course of 2008. The Old Dutch Corpus is already partly available online at http://onw.inl.nl. |
