With an engraved frontispiece of the Biblioteca Palatina, and two illustrated maps. Collated complete. A detailed latin dictionary, in four parts. Consisting of English-Latin, Latin-Classical, Latin-Proper, and Latin-Barbarous. In the English-Latin section, more words and properties of the language were set down, by several thousands, than in any other dictionary at the time. Including the most common Christian names of men and women, rendered into latin. Adam Littleton was an English cleric and lexicographer. He was a strong opponent of the parliamentary visitation at the University of Oxford, and was thus expelled from the university in 1648. Charles II appointed him a royal chaplain in 1670. He then went on to become prebendary of Westminster Abbey, rector of St. Botolph, Aldersgate and chaplain to Prince Rupert of the Rhine.
