Summary/Abstract: Bernardo da Parigi’s Vocabolario Italiano-Turchesco (1665) is a huge three-volume dictionary that unfortunately has been virtually ignored by studies on Ottoman lexicography so far. This paper focuses on a number of words recorded by Bernardo which are particularly interesting from a historical-lexicographical viewpoint, such as European loanwords not attested elsewhere or presenting noteworthy features and Anatolian Turkish words missing in Meninski (1680).
