Terminology throughout History

“Very rich and very pertinent, presenting numerous perspectives on terminology that have been less well investigated to date, and offering a level of detail that goes beyond many existing accounts. The language quality is consistently high, and the content in each chapter is well documented. The volume will be an asset to the collection of any library at a university with programs in terminology, lexicography, translation, language for special purposes, or historical linguistics, where it is certain to become a valued resource for graduate students and researchers in these fields. I applaud the editors and authors for this service to the terminology community, and I encourage anyone with an interest in terminology — past, present, or future — to check out the volume. Who knows… you may even find an Easter egg of your own hidden within the pages of this wide-ranging collection!”

“It provides a broad spectrum of interesting and relevant pieces of information in pursuing the aim [of tracing the establishment of terminology as a discipline, as formulated in the introduction].”
