A Glossary of
Sixteenth Century Italian Words Relating to Costume
A Partial
Transcript of John Florio's 1598 edition
of his Worlde of Wordes - an Italian/English Dictionary
Webbed December 12, 2004
The words included in this partial transcript are all related in
some way to the topics of male and female dress,
accessories, cosmetics, beauty, jewellery, hair and headwear,
textiles, and the sewing and embellishing of garments.
The Italian words are listed as they appear in the original, but
I have modernised the spelling of the English definitions, where
a modern spelling exists. This is mostly to make it easier to
find a particular word, since period English spelling could be
very different and varying. In some cases the word has been left
as it appeared in 1598. I highly recommend The
Renaissance Tailor's Tailoring Vocabulary page for any sixteenth century English
words which may be unfamiliar. The definitions for most of those
words can be found there.
Some entries
have been shortened by the omission of definitions that are not
specifically relevant to these topics. Grammar and punctuation
used is Florio's. Text in brackets is my own. Since I have had to
practically decipher the text, both due to lack of legibility,
and of course spelling, this ultimately means that I may have
made mistakes (the letters u and v, and f and s, were especially
problematic). I do not profess to be a linguist, nor conversant
with the Italian language. My sole purpose has been to provide a
practical and useful glossary of period Italian terms which, I
hope, will be of help to those of us out there attempting
research into period costume, and related topics, with only a
rudimentary, or nonexistent, knowledge of Italian. I hope it is
also of use to those who would wish to learn and use the correct
period Italian terms instead of English, be it sixteenth century
or modern. If you know of any mistakes that I have made please do
let me know. This is a work in progress (I will be adding to it
from the 1611 edition in time), and despite the fact that it so
far it has taken me over a year of work (on and off), I'm happy
for it to be so.
As of 12
December, 2004, there are 1,475 Glossary entries taken from all
462 pages of the dictionary. I have also created two shorter,
more specific, glossaries -
A Glossary of Fabrics in
Sixteenth Century Italian
A Glossary of Colours in
Sixteenth Century Italian
I am greatly indebted to Greg
Lindahl and his SCA Dance page.
Greg hosts both the 1598 version, and the 1611 "much
augmented", version of the dictionary here.

How to
use this Glossary
If you have the
Italian word and wish to find the English definition, just click
on the relevant letter of the alphabet, below, or scroll down the
page. If you want to find the English word, use your computer's
"Find" function. (Click on Edit -> Find (on this
page), or use the Ctrl+F keys) The definitions are in UK
English, so look for "gray" instead of
"grey", "colour" instead of color, etc. Also
please note that in the sixteenth century "stuff" was
often used to denote a textile, so if you wish to find fabric
names, search with the word "stuff", as well as
"cloth". Should you wish to find the original
dictionary entry, the number of the page where it can be found is
listed with each glossary entry.
