QUEEN ANNA'S NEW WORLD OF WORDS

Transcriber's Note

Throughout the Dictionary two different forms of the letters E and O are used, to represent the different sounds they can have in Italian. The close E is displayed in its normal form (E — e), the open E with a special character the author had made for this very purpose: it has here been rendered with Ẻ — ẻ. The close O has an oval shape, and is shown in italics, while the open O has its normal appearance.

A brief table of contents, not present in the original text, has been added for the reader's convenience.
