Colonial-Era Spanish Language Resources
The resource list below provides links to digital images
of original 18th and early 19th-century dictionaries and Spanish grammar
texts, focusing on those that will assist English-speakers in reading and
understanding historical documents from the Spanish colonial era. In
addition, these texts provide an opportunity for even native
Spanish-speakers to explore the nuances of linguistic change that have
occurred during the past three centuries, most notably in the area of
vocabulary, including many words no longer in use.
Apart from the searchable index of Spanish-Spanish dictionaries (below), all other
texts are freely available on
Google Books.
