Publisher's Synopsis
The Maltese government awarded this 6 volume dictionary the title 'Malta's Publication for the Millenium'. The dictionary which is considered Malta's top linguistic reference, is the work of a lifetime research. It consists of not less than 80,000 entries in the Maltese- English version (2 volumes), and 120,000 entries in the English-Maltese version (4 volumes). It includes all modern scientific terms in banking, commerce, science, the arts, technology, medical and other spheres of the socio-economic sectors. Professor David Cohen, in his foreword to the English-Maltese version, describes this work as 'an excellent example of what modern lexicography can offer' containing 'a soundly based history of words which allows one to reach the real sources of the Maltese lexicon'. It is also 'an invaluable treasure concerning the manners, customs, and techniques of all aspects of Maltese culture, and of Western Mediterranean cultures'.
