The Dictionary of Old English Web Corpus (DOE) is a fully searchable database consisting of at least one copy of every surviving Old English text. In some cases, more than one copy is included, if it is significant because of dialect or date. The DOE represents over three million words of Old English and fewer than a million words of Latin. It defines the vocabulary of the first six centuries (C.E. 600-1150) of the English language and complements the Middle English Dictionary (which covers the period C.E. 1100-1500) and the Oxford English Dictionary. The three together provide a full description of the vocabulary of English.
Compiled as part of the Dictionary of Old English project at the University of Toronto, the texts in the Corpus are XML-encoded and are fully conformant with the Text Encoding Initiative Guidelines (TEI-P5 2007). - Dictionary of Old English: A to I Online This link opens in a new window

The DOE complements the Middle English Dictionary (which covers the period 1100 - 1500 A.D.) and the Oxford English Dictionary (which documents the development of the English language to the present), and draws on texts from a wide range of dates, dialects and genres.
