Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book stands as one of the earliest English dictionaries, and the first to organise its words by rhyming structure. Written by Peter Levins, an author about whom very little is known, this dictionary presents an invaluable glimpse into the English language of the 16th century. The… author designed it as an aid for both poetry and pronunciation, and as such it contains thousands of words categorised into vowel and diphthong patterns. In addition to its role as a rhyming tool, the book further illuminates the history of specific words and phrases, their etymology and evolution. It also provides helpful contextual examples. Levins intended his work to be an accessible tool, and thus it is an excellent source for scholars studying the development of the English language. The book's deep exploration of etymology, pronunciation, and the role of rhyme in the construction of English makes it a significant historical artefact. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
