| Resumo: | Dictionaries tell stories of many kinds. The history of dictionaries,
of how they were produced, published and used, has much to tell us
about the language and the culture of the past. This monumental
work of scholarship draws on published and archival material to
survey a wide range of dictionaries of western European languages
(including English, German, Latin and Greek) published between
the early sixteenth and mid seventeenth centuries. John Considine
establishes a new and powerful model for the social and intellectual
history of lexicography by examining dictionaries both as imaginative
texts and as scholarly instruments. He tells the stories of
national and individual heritage and identity that were created
through the making of dictionaries in the early modern period. Far
from dry, factual collections of words, dictionaries are creative
works, shaping as well as recording early modern culture and
intellectual history. |
