Book excerpt: Thumb-indexed edition It takes its dignified place in the Cassell series, that fountainhead and model of "modern lexicography," said Le Lingue del Mondo. "The compilers have given an excellent working tool to the English and ourselves." This entirely new dictionary is designed as a mirror of contemporary Italian life but it includes obsolete words and phrases which are recurrent in the works of classic Italian writers for the benefit of readers and students of Italian literature.
