About This Book

A bilingual Italian–English dictionary compiled and substantially enlarged by John Florio, presenting extensive headwords with English equivalents, usage guidance, and literary citations. It opens with multilingual prefatory material and a royal dedication, lists authors and sources consulted, and appends practical rules and observations for Italian pronunciation and grammar; typographic markers are used to indicate vowel qualities. Entries range from common speech to technical and literary vocabulary, formatted to support translation, language learning, and general reference between the two tongues.
