A detailed description of the collection is available via pdf on our website on the catalogues page. The Language of Flowers phenomenon flourished for almost eighty years beginning in France in the early 19th century. As both potent and subtle symbols in Western culture flowers are found in religious texts poetry heraldic and emblematic literature from the classical period and early Christianity through medieval literature and the enlightenment. In the early 19th century books were written and published for the first time under titles such as Abécédaire de Flore ou Langage des Fleurs 1811 Oracles de Flore 1816 Emblemes de Flore et des Végéaux 1819 and Le Langage des Fleurs 1819. With those publications the language of flowers and its exploration of floral symbolism in communication - usually as a language of love and romance - gained acceptance and popularity. During its nascent years in France the language of flowers had a relatively limited affluent audience but once publishers saw the potential for profit and obtained the ability to print and illustrate books on a large scale they began to publish language of flowers texts in the popular formats of literary annuals gift books and almanacs. By 1830 the genre was widely available to a new world of fervent book buyers and readers in the working and middle classes. The vogue for language of flowers books was so prevalent that it became the subject of parodies and satires by among others Frederick Marryat and J. J. Grandville. Herman Melville was a devotee of symbolic flower language and referred to it in Mardi and Pierre and poems written to his wife Lizzie. The core of this collection of language of flowers titles was assembled by Doris Ann Elmore a French teacher in San Francisco and lifelong Francophile. The collection is unusual for its scope. The collection is for sale en bloc. First or early editions. Various places and publishers, 1655-1897 unknown

Ffep heavily chipped with 1864 owner's name reinforced at the foreedge. There is no half-title first leaf is title page; two owner's names or notations Anglesey Dec. 5 1663 and Stanford 1693. Obverse of title page blank; follows 3pp dedicatory 'To His Majesty Charles the Second'; another blank page is followed by the marvelous frontispiece which faces the introductory 'Poems by the Author.' A 6pp preface addressed 'to the tru Philologer' ends with a publisher's notice apologizing in advance for the inevitable errors in this first impression. There is some penciled marginalia in the preface and first few pages of the dictionary; there are also ink notes much older but nothing in the dictionary after the first 6 pages.

2009ABE-1675274264536OUP Oxford 2009 NEW & UNREAD. 45 YEARS IN THE MAKING. This is now VERY RARE INDEED. The Historical Thesaurus of the Oxford English Dictionary HTOED is a unique new resource charting the semantic development of the huge and varied vocabulary of English. It is the first comprehensive historical thesaurus ever produced for any language containing almost every word in English from Old English to the present day and is a magnificent resource for the historical study of the language. It is based on a detailed analysis of English as found in the second edition of the Oxford English Dictionary OED and also draws on A Thesaurus of Old English. Conceived and compiled by the English Language Department of the University of Glasgow over a period of some 45 years the Historical Thesaurus of the Oxford English Dictionary is a groundbreaking analysis of meaning in the history of English. Content and Structure The thesaurus organization follows a unique thematic system of classification with entries arranged in a comprehensive semantic hierarchy according to their meanings. Each individual synonym is presented in chronological order according to the first recorded date of the word's use in English as listed in the Oxford English Dictionary with earliest synonyms given first. There are three major sections in the HTOED reflecting the main activities and preoccupations of users of the language: I The external world II The mental world III The social world These in turn are divided into 354 major categories such as Food and drink Thought or War. Further categories and subcategories follow moving from the most general ideas to the most specific. Overall the HTOED contains around 800000 meanings organized into more than 236000 categories and subcategories. The semantic categories and subcategories are headed by phrases which define them and link to preceding sections. In the abridged example given here the headings and numbering show that Terms of endearment at the fourth level of the semantic hierarchy are part of Love which is classified within the higher category of Emotion which in turn comes under The mind. 02 The mind . 02.02 Emotion . 02.02.22 Love . 02.02.22.04 Terms of endearment . The HTOED contains obsolete historical and archaic vocabulary as well as the vocabulary of current English; it covers scientific technical and specialist terminology as well as slang dialect and informal language and regional varieties of English from all parts of the world. Each term is precisely entered into its place in this comprehensive hierarchy of meaning according to its meaning and date and is accessible either by browsing at any level of the hierarchy or by looking up a particular word in its alphabetical place via the Index. The Index itself lists nearly one million references and ensures a comprehensive lookup and accessibility of the full text. The final printed work is presented in two volumes: Volume 1 is the Thesaurus while Volume 2 is the alphabetical Index listing the synonyms in Volume 1. Readers may thus approach the content of the Thesaurus in different ways: either by looking up a single lexical item in the Index and being directed to the appropriate section in the main Thesaurus or by browsing by semantic category directly and seeing words in their context of both historical development and the overall organization of meaning. There is an Introductory essay by the Editors and a Foreword written by Lord Randolph Quirk together with a specially commissioned fold-out chart showing the principal levels of the semantic classification. Readership The HTOED is a unique resource for scholars of all types - linguists and language specialists historians literary commentators etc. - as well as being a fascinating resource for everyone with an interest in the English language and its historical development. It is the ideal complement to the OED itself allowing the OED to be accessed and its contents viewed in wholly new way. 1st Edition. Hardcover. As New. OUP Oxford hardcover
