"I am sure many of you are just excited by the Nuevo tesoro lexicográfico del español as I am. I have ordered a copy for Modern Languages and Linguistics Reference collection and it should arrive in a few weeks.
Best,
Paula
Description:
Nuevo Tesoro Lexicográfico del Español (s. xiv-1726) is the result of years of research with the objective of realizing a definitive corpus glossariorum of the Spanish language. The NTLE analyzes the history of Spanish words through dictionaries, glossaries and other texts appearing from the 14th century to 1726. This timeframe was chosen based on historical reasons: before the Vocabulario de romance en latín de Antonio de Nebrija (1495?), often regarded as the first Spanish dictionary, 7 other repertories on Spanish language had, in fact, already been published, among which 3 medieval glossaries, representing the rise of Spanish lexicography; in 1726, publication of the Diccionario de Autoridades, the first academic dictionary, opens a new era in the history of Spanish lexicography. The NTLE, with 10,000 pages and over 600,000 references comprises 11 volumes and contains 145 directories. Lidio Nieto Jimenez is member of the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas at the Instituto de la Lengua Española. Manuel Alvar Ezquerra is Professor at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid and member of the Real Academia Española."
