Herb-- A peculiarity of that old Spanish printing is the occasional omission of m's and n's (and an accompanying vowel), with a replacement in the form of a bar above the point where they belong. If you've ever looked at old latin stuff, it's the same format. With a similar project I found a Spanish dictionary along with a Spanish-English dictionary to be helpful. Also--I found this for Italian, perhaps there is such a thing for Spanish: an extensive on-line Italian thesaurus, which helped me translate some vocab not in my dictionary to words I could find.
