It's very simple, no more than a dozen miles north of you. All of
maybe three turns to make to get on the road, and get off it at the
obvious source. You could have walked it by now. Using the Internet
as a research tool is all fine and well, but it hardly constitutes the
final say. Others could accomplish this I suppose, especially when
I've offered the author of the translation and the period.

Finding it on the net is neither difficult nor impossible, I just have
it simpler with a good library and the OED not 6 feet away. Not only
is it faster (consider how much time it has taken you to NOT
accomplish anything), but it would eventually be the reference used by
any link offered. ;-)

Or - you can wait until Google does it for you (news item, American
company is going to digitize the college libraries for the Brits).
