{"product_id":"mellema-edouard-leon","title":"MELLEMA, Edouard Leon.","description":"\u003cp\u003eA very good copy of the scarce first edition in Dutch of this popular Dutch-French dictionary. It was edited by the Frisian Edouard Leon Mellema (c.1552-22), schoolmaster in Haarlem and author of  Arithmetica  (1586). This edition (with Dutch being here interchangeable with Flemish) is in fact a posthumous reissue, with Dutch t-p and preliminaries, of the first 1587 French edition printed by Jan van Waesberghe s father in Antwerp as  Dictionnaire ou Promptuaire Flamand-Français . The French-Flemish (or French-Dutch) volumes were published separately. The work comprises French translations spanning basic adjectives, verbs and pronouns, and phrases, Netherlandish and French place names, kinds of oxen, measurements, and thousands of words useful for everyday life.  His dictionary became a reference work and went through 11 editions in the C17.   here, the word  woordn-boec  [dictionary] appeared in a dictionary for the first time  (Sterkenburg, 38). It provided the basis of Hexham s Dutch-English dictionary of 1648.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MELLEMA, Edouard Leon.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57820349104463,"sku":"L3473","price":2250.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/2425\/0703\/files\/Untitled-1_193471b1-7564-4220-9828-426121a1acda.jpg?v=1781794801","url":"https:\/\/sokol-books-ltd.myshopify.com\/products\/mellema-edouard-leon","provider":"Sokol Books Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
