Ebook: New dictionary Armenian-English

Venice: S. Lazarus Armenian academy, 1875. - 786 p.As regards the number of words, our New Dictionary is much richer than the former one and at the same time more purified. It contains besides the terms of the Armenian language used by ancient authors, a great number of popular words in daily use at present in our country, the synonymes of which exist only partially in works of our classic authors. It contains also a scientific nomenclature, composed by the first scholars of our nation, and by our best Academicians more particularly, of words relating to astronomy, physic, anatomy, natural history, chemistry and alchymy.
We have included also some «current» words; that is to say, words generally made use of in good society , making a judicious use of them, and explaining as well as possible their meaning.It is some years since we published the second edition of the English- Armenian Dictionary ; which we have revised, making additions, corrections, suppressions etc. ; and now we have the
pleasure of presenting to the public this Armenian-English New Dictionary.The old Armenian-English Dictionary (pub. 1825) - compiled by the above-mentioned Rev. Father, with the assistance of J. Brand Esq. the eminent Armenian scholarj - was undoubtedly a most excellent work and was very favourably received by the literary world of that period ; but the many researches and studies made in both languages during the half century which has elapsed since the publication of that book, have caused a very detailed revision of the original work indispensable. That is what we have tried to do in as accurate and extensive a manner as possible, and we have done it most willingly as it seemed to us as necessary for our own countrymen as for foreigners.
