The Dictionary of Old English (DOE) is a dictionary published by the Centre for Medieval Studies, University of Toronto under the direction of Angus Cameron (1941–1983), Ashley Crandell Amos (1951–1989), and Antonette diPaolo Healey. It "defines the vocabulary of the first six centuries (600-1150 A.D.) of the English language, using today's most advanced technology. The DOE complements the Middle English Dictionary (which covers the period 1100–1500 A.D.) and the Oxford English Dictionary, the three together providing a full description of the vocabulary of English." [1]
The dictionary is still under production, as "one third of the Dictionary--eight of the 22 letters of the Old English alphabet--has been published, and more than 60% of the total entries have been written to date." [1]
The dictionary has made extensive use of digital technology. It is "is based on a computerized Corpus comprising at least one copy of each text surviving in Old English. The total size is about five times the collected works of Shakespeare." [1]
It is available in 3 formats [2]
