Over the Christmas break, my university library contacted me to let me know they had located a copy of Marie De Garis' Dictiounnaire Angllais-Guernesiais. They had borrowed a copy from a Florida University for me and I would be allowed to have use of it for three weeks. Then my library promptly closed for nearly two weeks for the holidays before I could pick it up! So for the week I did have it in my possession I scanned a few sections that I thought would be useful. Now, I've just found that these scans have been lost due to a file saving mishap :(
The dictionary was quite extensive, with both an English-Guernesiais and a Guernesiais-English section. The English-Guernesiais section was at least twice the size, which has me believe that the dictionary's purpose was to be used more as a learning tool. There was a beautifully written history of the language in the preface by De Garis. This was the third and most recent edition from 1982.
