Estudios en torno a la historia de la lexicografía vasca

Resumen

The only aspect of Old Basque dictionaries which seems to have attracted the attention of researchers has been their potential contribution to the lexical inventory of this language: this is an ahistorical endogenous and utilitarian approach. The method -or lack of it- which underlies this approach brings about serious errors. These errors not only invalidate the conclusions but they also frequentely misportray the only history which this research is concerned with: the history of Basque words.
