An Icelandic-English Dictionary
Credits to the online edition:
Scanning and preparation of these page images was made possible by a grant from the American-Scandivanian Foundation. Many thanks to the American-Scandivanian Foundation for their generous support for this project.
Spring 2003: Rebecca Kuipers scanned the entire text, cropped the images and fixed the rotation, and corrected the OCR-ed page headers at the top of each page which appear in the page list below.
Summer 2003: Michael O'Keefe performed many global corrections on the text version and corrected the first dozen or so pages by hand.
Spring 2004: Bronwyn Woods corrected the headwords for the entire dictionary.
Sean Crist initiated and is directing the project, and also did the OCR, major software design and programming, and ongoing global corrections.
An Icelandic-English Dictionary, by Richard Cleasby and Gudbrand Vigfusson, was published in 1874. It is the most comprehensive and authoritative dictionary on Old Icelandic.
