Peter Levins’ lexicographic approach
No full textThe aim of the paper is to shed light on the productivity of Peter Levins' "Manipulus Vocabulorum". We notice that Levins was a keen lexicographer; indeed, recent studies have already highlighted the fact that his dictionary is the first in the history of English lexicography in which hard or obsolete words are listed or mentioned. Moreover, Levins also recorded a number of words which had apparently been left unregistered before the publication of the "Manipulus". Yet such lexicographic accuracy is not accompanied by an adequate etymological analysis of the lemmas presented. Indeed, in the preface to the text the author overtly mentions word-formation rules as an integral part of his work and when developing his book he purposefully scatters here and there a great number of notes explaining the etymology of the words presented in the dictionary; yet he often proves to be inaccurate and faulty, since not only does he fail to identify the right suffixes in some cases, but he also fails to recognise the exact etymology of a number of lemmas, by confusing French, Latin and English roots
Peter Levins’ description of word-formation (1570)
No full textOne of the most original English lexicographical ventures in the sixteenth century was Peter Levins’ Manipulus vocabulorum (1570). This is the first English rhyming dictionary. Some nine thousand English words were arranged in the alphabetical order of their last syllable and then translated into Latin. Levins’ word selection will thus have been largely based on the sound structure of the lexical items. The long years spent by Levins on assembling and arranging the dictionary material inevitably drew his attention to English suffixes like -able, -er, -ish, -less, and -ness and such second elements in compounds as fold, garth, house, man, and yard. The column arrangement of the dictionary is thus often interrupted by explicit specifications of synchronic English word-formation patterns (and Latin correspondences).</p

Moral Good, the Beatific Vision, and God’s Kingdom Writings by Germain Grisez and Peter Ryan, S.J.. Edited by Peter J. Weigel
No full textFor close to half a century, the work of Germain Grisez has been highly influential, and his writings continue to receive considerable attention from philosophers and theologians of diverse viewpoints. His co-author for this work is the professor and noted moral theologian Fr. Peter Ryan, S.J., currently the executive director of the Secretariat of Doctrine and Canonical Affairs of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). These two eminent scholars explore fundamental questions about Christian eschatology, moral theory, the purpose of human life, and the promise of human fulfilment. The authors examine Christian teaching on the final destiny of persons, investigating the meaning of God's kingdom, the hope of the beatific vision, and the centrality of moral goodness and divine grace in one's final end. This work is an ideal source for students, scholars, ministers and lay persons interested in basic questions of Christian theology, the philosophy of religion, ethical theory, and Catholic doctrin
