No I don't unfortunately.  I had a bit of a search around too, and mostly
could only find online references to an even newer reprint than the one
we first saw this in :(

If you are interested in chasing this up, you might like to have a chat
to the fellow who maintains this site: http://www.fromoldbooks.org
He doesn't appear to have a copy listed there either, but he may know
someone who does have one that's old enough for our purposes.

If you open up the javascript foldy-thing under "Online Reference Books"
he does have some rather amazing ancient dictionaries though, which it
would be absolutely awesome to have available in dict format too ...

Best,
Ron
