The Historical Thesaurus of the Oxford English Dictionary (HTOED) is the print edition of the largest thesaurus in the world, the Historical Thesaurus of English (HTE), conceived and compiled by the English Language Department of the University of Glasgow. The HTE is a complete database of all the words in the second edition of The Oxford English Dictionary, arranged by semantic field and date. In this way, the HTE arranges the whole vocabulary of English, from the earliest written records in Old English to the present, alongside types and dates of use. It is the first historical thesaurus to be compiled for any of the world's languages and contains 800,000 meanings for 600,000 words, within 230,000 categories, covering more than 920,000 words and meanings.
After 44 years of editorial work, the Historical Thesaurus of English was published on October 2009. Fortunately, since September 2014 the Historical Thesaurus of English is freely available online from the University of Glasgow. http://historicalthesaurus.arts.gla.ac.uk/
I would like to propose the creation of an mdx version of this great dictionary.
Looking forward to your response,
