Where can i get an old english dictionary(medival)?

Answer 1

First of all OED stands for Oxford English Dictionary.
There is no such thing as a medieval english dictionary as the concept was unknown before the eighteenth century.

Answer 2

Here are some sites for Old English words, which I think are good. There doesn't seem to be a dictionary as such, but some universities have huge resources.

http://www.mun.ca/Ansaxdat/vocab/wordlist.html
http://www.ling.upenn.edu/~kurisuto/germanic/oe_clarkhall_about.html

Then I saw you wrote "medieval", and assume you mean "Middle English" - works of Chaucer and his contemporaries - so here's an online glossary:
http://pages.towson.edu/duncan/glossary.html

"There is currently no satisfactory student's dictionary of Middle English."
http://www.soton.ac.uk/~wpwt/notes/metrans.htm

I think you will have to contact the universities involved to use their huge databases - just type into google: "old English dictionary". Otherwise, if you're translating a work, there is usually a glossary and footnotes provided in the book.

Good luck.

Answer 3

OED is good ... also:

Answer 4

Look for the OED - Old English Dictionary. You can get them online, or most bookstores can order them for you.
