Abstract
«The lexicographic sources of James Howell’s nomenclature». In 1659 James Howell’s Lexicon tetraglotton an english-french-italien-spanish Dictionary is published, and it contains a «A Particular Vocabulary or Nomenclature in English, Italien, French and Spanish of the proper Terms belonging to several Arts ans Sciences, to Recreations, to common Profesions and Callings both Liberal and Mechanick». This article approaches a study on the content and the structure of this repertoire, as well as on their main lexicographical source, Guillermo Noviliers Clavel. This approach will allow to analyze the originality and contributions that Howell has made to the history of the Spanish Lexicography.
