[Ads-l] Antedating of "Lexicographer"

[Shapiro, Fred]

lexicographer (OED 1658)

1625 Thomas Wise _Animadversions upon Lillies grammar_ 46 (Early English Books Online)  I thinke that therein _Lilly_ was in part deceiued, for _caffis_ and _cuspis_ are originally latine words, not to bee found in any greeke Lexicographer.
