A useful resource is the Leeds MedFrench source at http://medfrench.leeds.ac.uk/.

http://atilf.atilf.fr/gsouvay/scripts/dmfX.exe?INIT_SESSION;ISIS=isis_dmf2.txt;OUVRIR_MENU=1 (French again, and slightly later, but still good).
And here’s a link to a neat set of resources online supplied by Trinity College Dublin:
