The idea of a bilingual dictionary was not his own ... It seems, however, that Estienne's work was recognized as an improvement on anything else available" (Armstrong p 88). "The Dictionarium latino-gallicum of 1538 ... received, understandably, an even greater acclaim [than the Thesaurus, it] was reprinted in 1543 and 1546, and served as the acknowledged model of the Latin-German (Zürich 1568) and Latin-Flemish (Antwerp, Plantin, 1573) dictionaries" (PMM).

Criblé initials. 18th century calf, spines gilt, preserving old spine supports. Some dampstain and spotting to first several leaves of vol 1, title of vol 2 with repair to head and loss of 3 letters of title, intermittent pale dampstain, binding worn at corners and spine. Provenance: Bibliotheque du Haut-Buisson (bookplates); Dr. H.R. Frank (his sale, Zisska & Schauer Munich, May 10, 1990, lot 46). SECOND EDITION, ENLARGED OF "THE FOUNDATION OF MODERN LEXICOGRAPHY" (Schreiber describing the third edition) and the work which established Robert Estienne as the first scientific lexicographer. "Unlike any of his predecessors Estienne based his vocabulary only on the best classical sources ... and further illustrated the meaning of words and idioms by references to reputable modern authorities, e.g., Valla, Erasmus, Linacre, Alciati and [his friend] ... Guillaume Budé" (Schreiber). Over 450 years later, it has yet to be surpassed as the most complete work of Latin lexicography. The third edition appeared in 1543 and was denominated the "second edition" by Estienne, an indication that he did not consider the first edition of 1531 to be a complete work.

Adams S1813.

Provenance: "Degeres fils" (18-century signature on title). RARE FIRST EDITION OF ROBERT ESTIENNE'S FIRST BILINGUAL DICTIONARY, published as a successor to his pioneering and hugely successful Latin Thesaurus (1531), and employing the same innovative lexicological principles: "contrary to the practice of his predecessors, he based his vocabulary exclusively on classical authors... he clarified the meaning of the words by citing reputable authorities... and he illustrated the correct usage of words and phrases by ample quotations from classical sources" (PMM). The present dictionary, enlarged editions of which appeared in 1543, 1546, and 1549 (in a French-Latin version), served as the model for later sixteenth-century Latin-German, -Flemish, and -English dictionaries.
