[This is a new translation by a novice, any corrections welcome. Glossaries of Medieval French works by Pope and Lodge, and Paget Toynbee, along with Randall Cotgrave’s 16th Century Dictionary were used — thankfully put online by Greg Lindahl. Occasionally, modern French-English dictionaries were needed for words not appearing in the period dictionaries.
See the word by word definitions via tool-tip boxes and the specific glossary on, French text only for the text of this page of the book. For every word, in every form defined for the whole book, as well as the bibliography with full citations, see the final Glossary. — S. R.]
