Produktbeschreibung
Step into the world of 15th-century England, where language was both a bridge and a barrier. Promptorium Parvulorum Sive Clericorum, Lexicon Anglo-Latinum Princeps, Auctore Fratre Galfrido Gammatico Dicto stands as one of the earliest and most enduring Latin-English dictionaries-crafted for scholars and students navigating the rich tapestry of medieval education. This medieval lexicon is more than a language learning tool; it is a window into the daily life, scholarship, and intellectual curiosity of a bygone era. Carefully compiled by an unknown author, and attributed to Frater Galfrido Gammatico, the Promptorium Parvulorum illuminates the roots of historical linguistics and early English lexicons. Its pages reveal not only the vocabulary of medieval literature but also the methods and priorities of those who first sought to codify the Latin language for English speakers.

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 are a casual explorer of historical language reference or a dedicated collector of cultural treasures, this classic invites you to discover the enduring legacy of medieval scholarship. Five centuries on, its wisdom endures.

He was well-versed in a variety of disciplines, including astrology, alchemy, and philosophy, drawing on Greek, Persian, and Indian sources. As a participant in the Islamic Golden Age's rich scholarly tradition, he likely had access to extensive libraries and intellectual circles.
