What was the name of the first English-language dictionary?

• A Table Alphabetical:The first dictionary of purely English words was the work of Robert Cawdrey, a schoolmaster from Oakham, Rutland. He was living in Coventry in 1604 when he published, with the help of his son Thomas, his "A Table Alphabetical." This first attempt at a separate, strictly English dictionary contained about 3,000 words. The work was heavily dependent on only three sources, easily falling under the definition of plagiarism by today's standards. Nonetheless, Cawdrey and his son came out with revised editions in 1609, 1613, and 1617. A competing dictionary, "An English Expositor," was entered in the Stationers' Register by John Bullokar in 1610 but was not actually printed until 1616. Source: Britannica. com
