The University of Michigan Press is pleased to announce the completion of the Middle English Dictionary. The goal of the Middle English Dictionary is to include all meanings, grammatical forms, and spellings of all the words identified by its extensive reading program. Its completion represents what has been called the greatest achievement in medieval scholarship in America and the most important single project in current English historical lexicography. After seventy years it produced about 15,000 pages.

The Middle English Dictionary is a monumental scholarly endeavor that began in the 1930s and was completed in 2001. The task of the editors compiling the dictionary was to document the English language from just after the Norman Conquest up to the introduction of the printing press at the end of the 1400s. With that innovation the language became more or less standardized, but during the Middle Ages the language was evolving under the stress of events and social change, particularly as French culture was absorbed into the language. These were truly the formative years of the English language, and they present major challenges to lexicographers.
