One of the most prominent linguists and educators in Elizabethan England, Florio was greatly responsible for the spreading of Italian letters and culture throughout educated English society. Especially important was Florio’s dictionary, which – thanks to its exuberant wealth of English definitions – made it initially possible for English readers to access Italy’s rich Renaissance literary and scientific culture.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAward-winning author Hermann W.

Haller reveals Florio as a brilliant English translator and creative writer, as well as a grammarian and language teacher. His helpful critical commentary highlights Florio’s love of words and his life-long dedication to promoting Italian language and culture abroad.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEditorial Criteria\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCorrections to the 1598 Printed Version\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBibliography\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA Worlde of Wordes\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEpistle Dedicatorie\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTo the Reader\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Names of the Bookes and Auctors\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDictionary\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52702370365720,"sku":"9781442645806","price":98.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/john-florio-a-worlde-of-wordes-hardback-9781442645806","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
