	EMLS S.I. 1 (April 1997: 6.1-20): Understanding Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus and the EMEDD
		The Early Modern English Dictionaries Database (EMEDD) consists of a combined 225,000 word-entries from eighteen Renaissance dictionaries or glossaries published in England from 1530 to 1657.
		The Early Modern English Dictionaries Database compiles over 200,000 word-entries from more than a dozen hard-word and bilingual dictionaries printed in the English Renaissance, from John Palsgrave's English-French grammar in 1530 to Thomas Blount's 11,000-entry hard-word dictionary in 1656.
		Last, the moderns select abstract senses rather than the concrete, specific equivalents provided by the early interpretors, to whom "consecrate" meant "made holy," and "continence" meant "chastity." Unlike Saturninus, Bassianius speaks in terms common in the Elizabethan homilies; and unlike ourselves, his words point to particular qualities.

	The Early Modern English Dictionaries Database (EMEDD)
		It opens up the complete range of language phenomena in Renaissance English, as lexicographers of the period saw them, and comprises the core of the electronic corpus necessary as a base for writing a modern period dictionary for the language of Shakespeare and his contemporaries.
		Lexical indeterminacy observed in the period (the frequent inability of modern lexicographers to detect precise senses, and their omission of citations of that kind in their examples) is consistent with this theory.
		The late Jürgen Schäfer, in Early Modern English Lexicography (1989), surveyed 133 English glossaries from 1480 to 1640 (the only dictionaries he touched are the small ones by Cawdrey, Bullokar and Cockeram) and developed from them 5,000 entries that add to or correct the OED.

	WellTrainedMind.com - Classical Schooling with Multiple Ages
		This might mean that a first-grader will do Late Renaissance / Early Modern (1600-1850) as her first year of history, because her older brother is now in third grade and has already done the Ancient and Medieval / Early Renaissance years in first and second grade.
		If, for example, you're doing the Medieval / Early Renaissance readings with a sixth grader, a third grader, and a kindergartner, you can read the picture-book Beowulf we recommend to the third grader and kindergartner while the older child reads Robert Nye's retelling on his own.
		Seventh grade is a little bit early to start Great Books; ninth grade is about as early as most kids are ready to tackle the classics.

	Glossary of Terms: Renaissance and Early Modern Periods
		Many current scholars object to the term "Renaissance" because it means "re-birth," which, they feel, implies that the medieval period which preceded it was dead!
		This is generally the range of time that our English department refers to when we use either term, although you might hear the term "early-modern" referring to even later periods of study.
		Well, for one thing, to understand what it means to be "modern," one must understand what it means to be "early modern," since much of our culture today was shaped in the early-modern period.
