Cite LEME
¶ Rationale
Lexicons of Early Modern English (LEME) makes it possible to search across 290+ encoded early modern dictionaries. You will
find many usages and definitions that predate the first occurrences listed in the
OED. LEMDO strongly encourages editors to use LEME alongside the OED, and to cite preferentially from LEME as often as possible. LEME is an open-access resource, which means we can link directly to the early modern
definitions. You will want to read the section entitled
Scopein the Introduction to LEME and ensure that you understand the difference between hard word lexicons, translating dictionaries, and terms of art lexicons.
¶ Practice: What to Include
We add individual dictionaries in LEME to our bibliography as editors cite them. We also make links to LEME directly from our citations. Readers will find abundant information about each dictionary
on the LEME site.
Format the citation as follows:
The LEME citation appears in parentheses after the gloss and includes the acronym LEME (not
italicized).
Include the surname of the dictionary author and the headword. In many cases, the
headword will not be the word for which you searched, but rather the headword of the
entry in which you found your word being used.
Make a note of the lexicon and entry number you are quoting or paraphrasing. The numbers
are part of the URL of every LEME entry. If the URL is https://leme.library.utoronto.ca/lexicon/entry/231/9179, the lexicon number is 231 and the entry number is 9179.
Format the parenthetical citation like this:
Florio, Costante .
¶ Practice: Encode Citations to LEME
Wrap the authorʼs name in a
<ref>
element. Add a
@type
attribute. The value of
@type
must be "bibl"
. The value of the target attribute will begin with the "bibl:"
prefix followed by the xml:id of the dictionary in the BIBL1.xml file.Wrap the headword in a
<term>
element and then in a
<ref>
element. Add a
@target
attribute to the
<ref>
element. The value of
@target
must begin with the prefix leme:, followed by the number of the lexicon, a pipe character (|) and the number of the
entry.¶ Examples
<note type="gloss">demeanour is grim, horrible, terrible, fearful (<ref type="bibl" target="bibl:COTG1">Cotgrave</ref>, <ref target="leme:298|25171">
<term>Hideusement</term>
</ref>).</note>
<term>Hideusement</term>
</ref>).</note>
