词典的故事有很多种。词典的历史,以及它们是如何产生、出版和使用的,告诉我们许多关于过去的语言和文化的信息。这部不朽的学术著作利用出版和档案材料调查了16世纪初至17世纪中期出版的大量西欧语言词典(包括英语、德语、拉丁语和希腊语)。约翰·康西丁通过考察词典既是富有想象力的文本,又是学术工具,为词典编纂的社会和知识史建立了一个新的、强大的模型。他讲述了国家和个人的遗产和身份的故事,这些故事是在早期现代时期通过编纂词典创造出来的。词典不是枯燥的、实事求是的词汇集合,而是创造性的作品,塑造和记录着早期的现代文化和思想史。
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.
