Lexicografia și istoria culturii (Cazul Dicționarului român-latin al lui Teodor Corbea)
Lexicography and the history of culture (The case of Teodor Corbea’s Romanian–Latin Dictionary)

Summary/Abstract: This study aims at pointing to the cultural dimensions of lexicography, both by revealing the cultural content of lexicographic works and the authors’ cultural horizons and by searching for a precise cultural motivation for compiling dictionaries. One such particular exercise is applied to Teodor Corbea’s Latin– Romanian Dictionary, elaborated between 1691–1702. Our study focuses on the encyclopædic character of this work and its relations with the Greco-Roman culture. It also analyses the Latin–Romanian similarities and the way the Romance character of the Romanian language is reflected.
