International Lace Dictionary - Edith Spee

Publisher ‏ : ‎ J. Coene (1 Jan. 1994)

International Lace Dictionary by Edith Spee
The best way to think of this book is as a thesaurus.

Identify the term you want to translate.
You then look this up in the alphabetical section for that language.
When you find the term, there will be number associated with the term.
You turn to the front of the book and look up the number.
This then gives you that term in all the languages of the dictionary.

What works well?

The book covers English, French, Spanish, German, Dutch, Italian, Portuguese and Danish.

Anything that we need to take into consideration?

This book is out of print and very rarely comes up on second hand sites or eBay.

This book has been reviewed on the lace gumnuts website
A cross reference of some 630 English words used in lacemaking, with equivalents in French, German, Dutch, Spanish, Catalan, Italian and Portugeuse in the first half, and equivalents in Danish, Swedish, Finnish, Hungarian, Czech, Russian and Japanese in the second half. Total of 178 pages, soft cover, hard wire spiral bound, measuring 210mm x 150mm.

A most useful addition to the library of anyone who has acquired lace books in another language!

Languages and Translations

So, you've bought a book that is not in a language that you read.
No problem.
I would strongly recommend downloading the Google Translate app on your phone.
This allows you to hold your phone over the text and it shows the translated text on your phone screen.
I've used this successfully to read Russian lacebooks.

I'm the lace bee and these are my books

With currently over 300 books and about the same number of individual patterns, I have an enviable library. So here are some of my books.

You can see all of the titles by opening up the archives or by clicking on the categories which I've used to group by authors, language and lace types

I am very grateful to the lace gumnuts of Australia for permission to quote and link their reviews to this site.
