Dictionaries in Early Modern Europe

A new book from Cambridge University Press, John Considine's Dictionaries in Early Modern Europe: Lexicography and the Making of Heritage, has been favorably reviewed by Adam Smith in the Times Literary Supplement for 26 June 2009: 32-33. Considine's work draws on published and archival material to survey a wide range of dictionaries of western European languages (including English, German, Latin and Greek) published between the early sixteenth and mid-seventeenth centuries. Sorry, I couldn't find a link to this particular review in Times Online.
