Bilingual dictionaries and lexicons edited or compiled during the early modern and modern eras (1500–1900) offer invaluable historical insights into the dynamics of international interactions and encounters between Europeans and Asians, mostly in terms of cultural exchanges, but also in connection with variegated forms of diplomatic activities (both official and non-official), and even more with Catholic and, later, Protestant, missionary enterprises. If they shed light on the advancement of linguistic knowledge and its dynamics, dictionaries are themselves the products of this knowledge, they are also the most precious tools for philologists and translators to ply their trade. This volume includes thirteen contributions from scholars with different backgrounds and methodologies to better emphasise the inexhaustible richness of these understudied materials, and to pave the way for future research perspectives on Asian “word–hoards.”Table of ContentsMichela BUSSOTTI & François LACHAUDIntroductionDejanirah COUTOGlossaries, Vocabularios and Dictionaries in the Estado da Índia (16th–17th Centuries)KISHIMOTO EmiStairway to the Stars: Jesuit Training and the Dictionarium Latino Lusitanicum, ac Iaponicum (1595)Rui Manuel LOUREIROA Contextualising Look at the “Declaração em Portugues” of the Vocabulario da Lingoa de Iapam (Nagasaki, 1603–1604)François LACHAUDFound in Translation: Lives and Afterlives of the Vocabulario da Lingoa de Iapam (1603–1604)OSHIMA MikioThe Chamberlain and the Castaway: Nikolai P.
