Abstract:

The paper is an outline of the issue of Neo-Latin vocabulary in the context of dictionaries covering words taken from early-modern Latin texts. Apart from the “Dictionary of Renaissance Latin from prose sources” by René Hoven and some very useful minor Neo-Latin word-lists scholars dealing with the works of 16th and 17th century do not have specialized Latin lexicons on mainly Renaissance and Baroque literature. Even dictionaries on classical, mediaeval or ecclesiastical Latin sometimes are helpful only to some extent. The author proposes preparing the early modern Neo-Latin dictionary mainly from the works by the Polish authors.
