LarryG has the Thomas Manton, Richard Baxter and John Owen collections in "raw" form (PDF). These would be great additions to the Esword library. Anyone willing to convert them?

I'll see what I can do for you. This text may have sermons that apply to only parts of a chapter. In esword, you would have to just click around guessing where comments might be in a chapter. There's no way to see what passages have comments as an overview. I'm thinking a verse by verse style format is out for esword. Probably do chapter by chapter maybe so no matter where you click in a chapter...at least something from that chapter will appear.

This may sound a bit odd, but I think that it would be fantastic if we could get a hold of the 1600 edition of the Oxford Dictionary. The definitions would be very, very close to what the translators of the KJV meant and it might make clearifying scripture easier for those of us that don't have a copy lying around the house. I'm not sure that it's open source though...

I'm not there was a 1600 oxford dictionary? You can get the Webster's 1828 dictionary easily--it's a download within e-Sword.

Work on the OED was started in 1857. I think the first volume was published in 1884.
The complete set was first available in 1928.

Middle English Dictionary might be more appropriate, but it covers the language from roughly 1100 AD to 1500 AD. I'm not sure what the licensing policy is.

An Anglo-Saxon Dictionary might also be appropriate. The 1838 and 1898 editions are in the public domain. The 1921 edition is probably in the public domain. This covers roughly 450 AD to 1100 AD.

A Table Alphabeticall, published in 1604 might be usefull, if its limited vocabulary is acceptable.

A Dictionary of the English Language, published in 1755 by Samuel Johnson is probably the most suitable dictionary for understanding either the 1760 or 1769 KJV.

Webster's 1828 Dictionary of the English Language probably has too many Americanism to be useful for studying Bibles translated into British English.

The 1828 Webster's Dictionary is the standard and best English dictionary for the conservative Bible believer. And has been for almost 200 years. The 1828 often uses Scripture in its examples of how words are defined, and explicitly defines many/most Scriptural terms. It's almost as good as a (very) simplified theological dictionary.

It would be hard to surpass the value of the 1828 Webster's dictionary for conservative evangelicalism.

Hi Dave,
I'd have to agree with you, although I'd be hard pressed to consider myself as conservative. I guess you could call me radical or zealous, and if that is the case, then somehow conservative would definitely be taking a back seat on that one.
