Oh, another thing. There's an awesome downloadable Lat-Eng/Eng-Lat dictionary program at http://www.erols.com/whitaker/words.htm. Try it; I guarantee you'll love it. Pops up as a DOS window. Really useful.
Although Whitaker's Words does include Medieval words (which can be toggled), it isn't strong on that, and I haven't found much beyond it. Most books on Medieval Latin are collections of period texts, not dictionaries or grammars. The most useful book I've found is Baxter & Johnson, "Medieval Latin Word List from British and Irish Sources", London, Oxford U Press, 1934. But even that is just Latin-to-English, not that helpful when, say, doing a scroll wording.
