Dictionarium Latinogallicum multo locupletius... adiectis authorum appelationubus quas in superiore Latinogallico praetermiseramus. Paris, Robert Estienne, June 2, 1546. In-folio (347 x 217 mm) of 2 ff.n.ch., 1376 pp. (of which leaf c2/1 between pages 34/35 without pagination and with blank verso). saddle leather over bevelled wood edges, boards decorated with cold scrolls, spine ribbed, with two clasps (contemporary German binding). Renouard, 67:12; Schreiber, 87. See PMM, 62 (for the 1538 edition). Second Estienne edition of this famous dictionary, which can be considered a complement to the Thesaurus of 1531. This new edition is almost twice as complete as the first published in 1538. "The Dictionarium Latino-Gallicum of 1538 was inspired by the success of the Thesaurus and was based on the latter's second edition. It received, understandably, an even greater acclaim, was reprinted in 1543 and 1546 and served as the acknowledged model of Latin-German (Zürich 1568), and Latin-Flemish (Antwerp, Plantin, 1573) dictionaries. "The second edition of Robert Estienne's pioneering Latin-French dictionary, nearly twice as long as the first edition of 1538 (reprinted in 1543 and 1544-45), being increased from 731 to 1376 pages. Furthermore, Robert has now added references to authorities, which he had omitted in the first edition and its two reprints; these additions and rearrangement of the material were intended to make the Dictionarium correspond with the Thesaurus Latinae Linguae" (Schreiber) Some ink stains notably on pp. 660 and 738, a few tears, one of which is missing one or two letters (corner of page 471); a few wormholes, renewed binding.
