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 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.
