Zusammenfassung:In 1578, the Anglo-Italian author, translator, and teacher John Florio wrote that English was 'a language that wyl do you good in England, but passe Dover, it is woorth nothing'. This is a study of how English-speakers learnt a variety of continental vernacular languages in the period between 1480 and 1720.
