{"product_id":"pallet-jean","title":"PALLET, Jean.","description":"\u003cp\u003eA good, clean copy of the second edition of the first French-Spanish bilingual dictionary, originally published in Paris in 1604. The French Jean Pallet (or Palet, fl. late C16\/early C17) was physician to Henry IV of France and translator from the Italian of  Discours de la beaut é des Dames (1568). An influential lexicographer, he published his bilingual dictionary only a few years after Hornkens s French-Spanish-Latin of 1599. Even more than Hornkens, Pallet was catering to the  Belgian  aristocracy, generals and officers who, upon the Infanta s marriage with Archduke Albert in 1596 and the greater administrative autonomy over the Low Countries granted to them by her father Philip II, found themselves having to deal with a Spanish-speaking court ( W√∂rterb√ºcher , 2977). The printer Velpius was granted a privilege by the Archduke. Whilst the French-Spanish part was mostly based on Hornkens, the Spanish-French section drew on Antonio de Nebrija s Spanish-Latin dictionary (1492-5) and Crist‚àö‚â•val de Las Casas s popular Tuscan-Castilian dictionary of 1570. \u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n In 1607, this copy was in the library of the Flemish physician Sebastianus Egbertus, professor of anatomy at Amsterdam and author of a commentary on Dodoens s  Herbal  (1640); he was deemed  a man of great learning  by the anatomist Nicolaes Tulp, famously portrayed by Rembrandt. In 1638, it was in the possession of the lawyer Johannes Carlier (c.1612-48), owner of a substantial library of which the inventory unusually specifies the colour of the shelves and their arrangement in the room (de Jong, p.151); in 1649, the copy was inherited by Johannes Spillieurs, probably the same registered as a student at Leiden.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PALLET, Jean.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57820349071695,"sku":"L3519","price":1650.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/2425\/0703\/files\/Untitled-1-3_55d260c7-f77d-44ec-86c4-6dd8afbc07a3.jpg?v=1781794801","url":"https:\/\/www.sokol.co.uk\/products\/pallet-jean","provider":"Sokol Books Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
