Synopsis

This book is an early example of an English rhyming dictionary, providing a collection of words and their rhymes from the 16th century. It is one of the earliest attempts to document the English language and a valuable resource for understanding the development of English pronunciation and vocabulary. The author's stated aim is to provide an accessible and affordable dictionary for those who may not be able to afford more expensive works. The dictionary is arranged alphabetically according to the final syllable of each word, with each entry providing definitions and sample phrases in both English and Latin. This book not only offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of the English language but is also a practical tool for poets, writers, and anyone interested in the evolution of English.
