Abstract

Giorgio Casacchia 1. Introduction In 1906, the Italian publisher Antonio Vallardi, at that time at the beginning of his bright career as a specialised publisher of dictionaries, put forth in Naples an interesting lexicographical work by G.B.

The title of the book was Saggio d'un primo dizionario cinese-italiano secondo il principio della naturale evoluzione della scrittura, con varie illustrazioni [A first tentative Chinese-Italian Dictionary, according to the principle of the natural evolution of the writing system, with illustrations]; the book is preserved in two copies in the library of the Istituto Universitario Orientale. Inside, there were 27+3 Chinese characters chosen among those belonging to the Kangxi radical n° LXXX, e mu <mother>, or at least have in in their structure, followed by a tentative etymological explanation, the reading in the French spelling, and an Italian translation.
