De Gruyter Discovery in Haste: English Medical Dictionaries and Lexicographers 1547 to 1796: 156 (Lexicographica. Series Maior, 156)

Product Description 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.
