Discovery in Haste: English Medical Dictionaries and Lexicographers 1547 to 1796: 156 (Lexicographica. Series Maior, 156) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Discovery in Haste surveys the English printed medical dictionary, an under-researched area, from Andrew Boorde's Breviary of Helthe of 1547 to Benjamin Laras surgical dictionary of 1796. The book covers pioneering works, compendia, translation dictionaries, glossaries, and encyclopaedic works. These dictionaries variously served students, educated lay people, and professionals in an age of limited access to medical treatment.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Discovery in Haste is the first book to survey the English printed medical dictionary, a greatly under-researched area, from Andrew Boorde's Breviary of Helthe of 1547 to Benjamin Lara's surgical dictionary of 1796. The book begins with Andrew Boorde's Breviary of Helthe of 1547, moves on to medical glossaries, which were produced through the whole period, the 'physical dictionaries' of the mid-seventeenth century which first employed 'dictionary' in the title, the translation into English of Steven Blancard's dictionary, Latin medical dictionaries of the late seventeenth century by Thomas Burnet and John Cruso, the influential dictionary by John Quincy which dominated the eighteenth century, surgical dictionaries through to that by Benjamin Lara, Robert James's massive encyclopaedic dictionary and the work derived from it by John Barrow, as well as George Motherby's dictionary of 1775. The characteristics of each are discussed and their inter-relationships explored. Attention is also paid to the printing history and the way the publishers influenced the works and, where appropriate, to the influence each had on succeeding dictionaries.
