De Vaan's Latin and Italic etym. dict., though it can be read online on the Scribd website at
http://www.scribd.com/doc/69111878/EDOLIL ,
cannot be dowloaded as pdf if you don't pay for the download. I think that Tavi dowloaded his Word version (now uploaded by him in the List's Files section) from this URL. However, many fonts do not show up properly in the Word version, so getting a pdf of the book is *necessary*.
The damn Greek Etymological Dictionary of Beekes seems to be well-protected from any attempt at downloading it freely. I've tried for hours to find a site from which it can be dowloaded without paying, yet with no success! Any ideas?
Kind regards,
Francesco Brighenti

Are those databases "lost" forever (if one does not have any access to the pay-per-view Brill online website where they have been uploaded), or did anyone here save copies of them?
