Lexicographic Works of the Czech Printer of the XVI Century Daniel Adam Veleslavin
In the article the author considers one of the aspects of the publishing activity of the Czech typographer of the 16th-century Daniel Adam Veleslavin, in particular the publication of works on lexicography, the author analyzes this produce, and also reveals the role of the publications in cultural life of the Czech of the 16th century. The appeal to sources (bibliographical lists of Czech books, forewords and dedications of the typographer) makes it possible to say that Veleslavin’s interest in this kind of the product was purposeful, since his works replenish the need of the Czechs in foreign dictionaries and thus he becomes the founder of Czech lexicography. During the period of his activity Veleslavin compiled and published in his printing house: «Dictionary of the Latin language» (1579), trilingual Latin-Czech-German «subject dictionary» (1586), «Dictionary composition of four languages» (1598) and two collections of popular Latin expressions (1580 and 1589).
