About this title

From the Inside Flap

Cassell's Italian Dictionary
"It takes its dignified place in the Cassell series, that fountainhead and model of modern lexicography," said Le Lingue del Mondo. "The compilers have given an excellent working tool to the English and ourselves." This entirely new dictionary is designed as a mirror of contemporary Italian life but it includes obsolete words and phrases which are recurrent in the works of classic Italian writers for the benefit of readers and students of Italian literature. Piero Rebora, who worked throughout the last twenty-five years of his life on the compilation of this dictionary, was Professor of English Studies at the State University of Milan. His guidelines were based on more than a century of experience in the compilation of language dictionaries which has made Cassell a hallmark throughout the world.
