This book presents-through a series of nine high quality essays by
international scholars-the beginnings of the lexicographic
tradition and the appearance of the first mono- and multilingual
dictionaries in various language areas across the world, paying
particular attention to their dependence on glosses and
glossaries.The contributions analyze, on the basis of significant
case studies, how dictionaries first emerged in a wide spectrum of
cultures, ranging from Greek Antiquity to 9th-century Japan, from
Medieval Britain to 15th-century Poland. In this way, the book
highlights both similarities and differences among these
traditions, and allows a global and comparative approach to the
history of lexicography in its earliest phases, a topic which, up
until now, has usually been studied only within single languages
and cultures.
