1650 French English DICTIONARY Cotgrave Sherwood FOLIO England Grammar Language

Randle Cotgrave was an early 17^th-century English scholar who is primarily remembered for his French and English dictionary. First published in 1611, this lexicon was one of the first, and certainly most thorough dictionaries of its kind. Beginning in 1632, Cotgrave included Robert Sherwood’s French and English dictionary into his work, making it a much larger and more extensive dictionary.

This 1650 enlarged edition includes both Cotgrave’s and Sherwood’s contributions, published in London by Lathum.
