Neglected Old French Lexicographical Resources

The lexicologist dealing with Old French materials has reason to envy his Germanist and Anglicist colleagues, since their reference works, undated in approach, are scientifically all-encompassing and certainly more complete. The GalloRomance scholar, for example, has no other resource tools but the old Godefroy,1 which alone covers the period stretching from the very beginning of the French language to the Renaissance, and Tobler-Lommatzsch,2 which only lists words belonging to the Old French period proper, i.e., until ca. 1350, and these exclusively stemming from literary documents.3 However, there exists an inordinately rich source of lexical items that to date has barely been exploited: this is the immense Old and Middle French material contained in medieval lexicological works, another extremely useful aid in explaining present-day lexicological problems such as etymologies, dialect forms, and doublets.
