Abstract
Este artículo ofrece noticias históricas sobre el humanista, enciclopédico y políglota Ambrosio Calepino (1440-1510), y su trabajo como lexicógrafo erudito. El amor y el estudio de autores clásicos, antiguos y modernos, llevó a este fraile agustino de Bérgamo (Italia) a la preparación del "Dictionarium", universalmente conocido como el "Calepino". El estudio señala el propósito y la originalidad del diccionario, el método utilizado en su preparación, las fuentes utilizadas -Plauto, Tácito, Cicerón, Horacio, Virgilio, etc.-, las características de las entradas, los idiomas utilizados, su distribución, así como la influencia del diccionario en diferentes áreas culturales. El trabajo se completa con la presentación de una lista actualizada de ediciones del "Calepino" (213), sus lugares de impresión (ciudades y países), años de edición, y los nombres de los impresores, con noticias sobre revisiones y ampliaciones realizadas durante los siglos XVII y XVIII. Además se indica la edición digital o el sitio web. El estudio concluye con una nota bibliográfica y una selección de portadas reproducidas de diferentes ediciones del "Calepino".
