[Sca-librarians] renaissance english dictionary

[Huette von Ahrens]

There is an OED online, but it isn't free.  It is $295 per year, for which I have
a personal subscription.  If anyone needs a word or words looked up, I will be happy
to do so.  I also have paper copy of OED, but it is harder to type into an e-mail
than just dragging and dropping into a message.
