Abstract:

A dictionary records a language and a cultural world. This global history of
lexicography is the first survey of all the dictionaries which humans have
made, from the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia, Egypt, China, India, and
the Greco-Roman world, to the contemporary speech communities of every
inhabited continent. Their makers included poets and soldiers, saints and
courtiers, a scribe in an ancient Egyptian 'house of life' and a Vietnamese
queen. Their physical forms include Tamil palm-leaf manuscripts and the
dictionary apps which are supporting endangered Australian languages. Through
engaging and accessible studies, a diverse team of leading scholars provide
fascinating insight into the dictionaries of hundreds of languages, into the
imaginative worlds of those who used or observed them, and into a dazzling
variety of the literate cultures of humankind.
