This article appears in Volume V04, Page 1004 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CAL-CAR
CALEPINO, AMBROGIO (1435-1511) , Italian lexicographer, born at Bergamo in 1435, was descended of an old family of Calepio, whence he took his name. Becoming an Augustinian
monk
 , he devoted his whole
life
  to the composition of a
polyglott
  dictionary, first printed at Reggio in 1502. This gigantic
work
  was afterwards augmented by
Passerat
  and others. The most
complete
  edition, published at Basel in 1590, comprises no fewer than eleven
languages
 . The best edition is that published at Padua in seven
languages
  in 1772. Calepino died blind in 1511..
