About this title

Synopsis

Step into the vibrant world of 16th-century England, where the English language was blossoming and wordplay reigned supreme. Manipulus Vocabulorum: A Rhyming Dictionary Of The English Language (1570), meticulously edited with an alphabetical index by Peter Levens, stands as the earliest known rhyming dictionary in English-a true linguistic reference book and a window into the origins of our language. This remarkable historical lexicon offers readers, writers, and poets a rare glimpse of Renaissance vocabulary, capturing the rhythms and cadences that shaped Elizabethan era literature. For language enthusiasts, collectors, and anyone fascinated by early English dictionaries, this volume is both a practical tool and a cultural artefact. Each entry reveals how words resonated in the age of Shakespeare, making it an essential resource for those intrigued by early modern English. Peter Levens's work not only aided poets and scholars of his own time, but continues to inspire modern readers with its wit and ingenuity. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today-a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Whether you seek to enrich your writing, explore the roots of the English language, or own a piece of literary history, Manipulus Vocabulorum offers a unique connection to the creative heart of the past.
