1169. In this bonus segment, originally released in November, we look at Peter Sokolowski's \"Tale of Two Dictionaries,\" tracing the word \"dictionary\" back to a 16th-century Latin work by a monk named Calepino. We look at how this original source led to the first monolingual dictionaries in both English and French, all within a year of each other.
