editReally? Didn't Emperor Claudius compile an Etruscan-Latin dictionary oh, seven or eight centuries earlier? Turtle Falcon 04:14, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
- Did he? Did "Emperor Claudius compile an Etruscan-Latin dictionary oh, seven or eight centuries earlier?" Was it "substantial", and has it survived? Do you have any further information or references? I would love to know and am happy to alter the article if necessary. Cheers, John Hill 05:00, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
What does "substantial' mean?
editK. C. Tang queried what I meant as "substantial" when talking about this dictionary (see history page of main article). Well, I would say a dictionary in three volumes (on the Mahayana, the Hinayana, and one of Indexes), which had 9,565 lexical entries divided into 277 chapters and descriptions of the meaning of the more difficult words, would qualify as "substantial", whereas, say, a wordlist of a few hundred words would not. This dictionary was developed under royal patronage by an international team of some of the finest scholars of the day. There is nothing definite about what makes up a "substantial work," but I think most readers would agree that this is indeed quite a substantial work John Hill 05:12, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
