The Middle English Dictionary is an invaluable resource. It was started in 1925 & finished in 2001.
Rather than chasing speed & scale at the expense of quality, we need to invest in the long term by funding the skills & slow labor research requires. There’s no future for the humanities otherwise.

For part of spring break I went down a research rabbit hole involving trompe l'oeil paintings & prints in the #c19. So I want to share with you this amazing specimen by Louis Leopold Boilly, featuring a cat (who resembles my Mr Bean!) as the chaos agent who has turned surface into depth.
