was the managing editor of The Collation from 2015-2023. As a reference librarian and archivist, she spends a lot of her time assisting others with their research. When she has a few moments for her own, she can be found exploring book history, theatre history, the history of science, and the interesting ways those crash together sometimes. — View all posts by Abbie Weinberg

This is fascinating; many thanks for it. I like your phrase “hokey dialogue”; I’ve often had the same thought about the odd dialogue in John Florio’s various Worlds of Words. If only there were a way to know if these bits were hokey or real. Has this book been digitised? Are images available?
Thank you! Yes, those stilted bits of dialog are so fascinating (in a train wreck sort of way). Our copy has not been digitized, but the BL’s copy is in EEBO.
