Johnson’s Dictionary and “the Lexicons of Ancient Tongues”

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Though Samuel Johnson’s Dictionary (1755) is often compared with the major vernacular dictionaries of the 17th century, a better point of comparison is the early modern lexicons of the classical languages, which Johnson knew well, and which informed his practice in his own lexicography.
