Thankyou SamJAke and John P.Ravilious.

Your comments make sense. Unfortunately my latin
master did not thump me adequately when presented with
my feeble translations.

Food for thought. I am sitting in Portland Library
staring at a thick latin dictionary (Lewis and Short
1st Edition 1879) The authors did not record
"bedellus" (beadle) but did remember to insert:

"Bdellium (n) Bedella ae (f) - an asiatic plant etc
etc.

The Dictionary of Ecclesiastical Latin (Shelton)
confirms.

I am now referring to an English/Latin dictionary
(William Smith & T.Hall 1871). Their translation for
beadle is:

(1) accensus agademicus (university beadle)
(2) accesus scholasticus (school beadle)
(3) aedituus (keeper of church, sexton)
(4) mastigophorus (as a policeman)

Now where do I find a dictionary that stipulates:

beadle "bedullus"?

Best wishes.

Paul Bulkl

Niermeyer's _Mediae latinitatis lexicon minus_ defines 'bedellus' first
as 'sergeant' or 'bailiff', and next as 'faculty beadle'. I am not the
only one on this list to mention, fairly regularly, Niermeyer as the
first place to look up medieval Latin words (after Lewis and Short--if
the word doesn't exist there or the meaning seems nonsensical).
Niermeyer's apparatus and definitions are bilingual in French and
English.

And then there's the original multi-volume Du Cange, _Glossarium mediae
et infimae latinitatis_, of which one can download the volumes for the
letters D through S only (don't ask why!) from the BNF gallica website.
