Some notes on the life and work of John Minsheu (1560–1627)
John Minsheu (1560–1627) has long been known to historians of lexicography as the author of an impressive comparative and etymological dictionary, Ductor in Linguas (1617). Less well known is his grammar of Spanish (1599), which is unusual for its time in displaying interest in socio-linguistic issues. This paper is intended to stimulate interest in the neglected grammar and to propose a solution to the mystery of Minsheu’s biography – a topic li…

Women and the study of language in sixteenth and seventeenth-century England
Competence in foreign languages, classical or contemporary, was a female achievement which, not surprisingly, depended on social class, and to a large extent, paternal encouragement. Royal women, at least in the sixteenth century, were often able to read, write and speak Latin and Greek, and even, occasionally, Hebrew. Women of the upper classes tended to study the fashionable languages, French and Italian, while working women were lucky if they …
Thomas Harriot (1560-1621) and the English origins of Algonkian linguistics
Thomas Harriot (1560-1621) was an outstanding mathematician and astronomer whose scientific writings - had they not been allowed to remain in manuscript - would long ago have earned for him an international esteem comparable with that of Galileo and Kepler. Only in recent decades has his status been recognised by scientists, but not, so far, by linguists. Yet he was the first English traveller to North America known to have recorded an indigenous…
Anglo-Dutch linguistic scholarship
Although political, social and cultural relationships between 17th-century England and the Netherlands have inspired several books and articles, no general account has yet been produced of the linguistic achievements, academic and applied, which resulted to a large extent from the common personal interests of English and Dutch scholars of the period. This brief survey attempts to present such an account, beginning with the linguistic problems whi…
The study of foreign languages in 17th-century England
RESUME: Au dix-septième siècle, · on observe un accroissement du nombre de langues connues des savants anglais, tant dans la famille indo-européenne (l'irlandais et le russe, par exemple) que dans d'autres groupes (le turc et l'arabe). Cette étude se propose d'examiner les raisons de l'intérêt croissant pour ces langues; qui les étudiait et où; les différentes approches de la méthodologie de l'enseignement des langues et les relations de ces lang…
Missionary linguistics in seventeenth century Ireland and a North American Analogy
Accounts of Christian missionary linguists in the 16th and 17th centuries are usually devoted to their achievements in the Americas and the Far East, and it is seldom remarked that, at the time when English Protestant missionaries were attempting to meet the challenge of unknown languages on the Eastern seaboard of North America, their fellow missionary-linguists were confronted with similar problems much nearer home - in Ireland, where the nativ…

‘Philosophical’ grammar in John Wilkins’s ‘Essay’
Recent studies of John Wilkins, author of An essay towards a real character, and a philosophical language (1668) have examined aspects of his life and work which illustrate the modernity of his attitudes, both as a theologian, sympathetic to the ecumenical ideals of seventeenth-century reformers like John Amos Comenius (DeMott 1955, 1958), and as an amateur scientist enthusiastically engaged in forwarding the interests of natural philosophy in hi…
John Brinsley
John Brinsley (1566-c.1630) seems to have been the first English scholar to publish a comprehensive language-teaching course for students of Latin. His first textbook, which appeared in 1612, was a lengthy discussion of teaching method; it was followed by a grammar, and by translations of Latin texts of varying degrees of difficulty, arranged in a special format to assist private study. His last publication was a dictionary devoted to the kind of…
John Wilkins' Essay (1668)
One of the major achievements of Britsh linguistic scholarship before the 19th century was John Wilkins' (1609-72) Essay towards a Real Character, and a Philosophical Language (1668), which attempted to construct, for scientific purposes, a language in which the elements were isomorphic with the categories of reality (as they were perceived by Wilkins). Immediately after its publication, the Essay was presented to the scientists of the newly-foun…
