About this book

This volume brings together twelve previously published essays, divided into three sections: 1. Surveys of 16th- and 17th-Century Linguistic Scholarship, 2. The Study of Universal and Particular Traits of Language, and 3. Language Learning and Language Instruction. The volume is completed by an index of biographical names and an index of subjects and terms.

Reviews

Matthew J. Lauzon, Johns Hopkins University:
[T]aken together, the essays have introduced or helped to open a number of exciting new avenues to be pursued by historians of linguistic ideas in Early Modern Europe.
