Abstract

The Valencian-Castilian dictionary by Josep Escrig, Diccionario valenciano-castellano (1851), has been one of the most condemned works in the history of the Catalan lexicography. However, current studies have shown that most of the expressed opinions about it are the result of prejudices, and reveal a questionable rigour in the research. In this paper, we aim at commenting on the traditional orthographical proposal of Josep Escrig’s dictionary (1851), which represents an additional merit of this work and comes to reassert its value.
