字典原創人是誰發明??

According to the site below, "The first purely English alphabetical dictionary was A Table Alphabeticall, written by English schoolteacher Robert Cawdrey in 1604."

No one person gets this credit. Samuel Johnson is most often creditedwith this task, but it's not true - not even he claimed it to be so.One of the earliest known dictionaries - and it's still around - waswritten in Latin and compiled during the reign of Augustus. The Chinesehad a dictionary in the third century B.C.

In 1604 Robert Cawdrey created the first English language dictionaryand in 1656 Thomas Blount also published a dictionary. Johnson didn'tcrank his out until 1755.

In 1806 the Americans put the British to shame when Noah Webstercompiled his dictionary of the English language. It became a bestseller and drove the British Philological Society to begin compiling acomprehensive dictionary, which would later become the Oxford EnglishDictionary. It took more than a century and several different editorsto get the thing published in full form. The first edition was actuallyworked on from 1860 to 1952, though plans went back earlier. The mostfamous editor was James Murray, a man of working class origins.However, he neither began the project nor saw it complete. He did,however, create a successful methodology for getting the project done.
