Reviews
`Lexicography and Physicke is to be recommended for its richly informative and absorbing analysis of the development of medical terminology in sixteenth-century vernacular usage. Of no less importance, however, is its clear awareness of the ever-widening scope and practical potential of work still to be done in the field.' Michael G. Brennan, International Journal of Lexicography `The OED's coverage of sixteenth-century English lexis is quite comprehensive ... dedicated and painstakingly accurate work ... The author provides a careful analysis of a neglected field of Renaissance lexis, the result of many years' diligent work ... a helpful summary of his arguments and findings.' Journal of Linguistics
