Abstract

In this article we study the development of English lexicography in the 16th and 17th centuries and its relation with Spanish, French and Italian, especially the former. I have taken as an example James Howell’s multilingual dictionaries because they are a good example of how these dictionaries were made out, sometimes taking bilingual dictionaries as the starting point. I consider that his Lexicon Tetraglotton must be taken with caution because his contribution with new words is not important; but his Nomenclature is a dictionary that deserves the attention of lexicographers.
