The paper aims to contribute a historical linguistics and lexicographical perspective on John Florio as an observer of language and linguistic phenomena, informed by the rising interest in bilingual vernacular lexicography as a source for the study of the history of linguistic ideas and terminology. The contribution examines the nature of metalinguistic labelling in Florio's dictionary and its consistency, and it explores the extent to which awareness of language variation (whether regional, diastratic, diaphasic or other) in both English and Italian is displayed.

Abstract
The paper aims to contribute a historical linguistics and lexicographical perspective on John Florio as an observer of language and linguistic phenomena, informed by the rising interest in bilingual vernacular lexicography as a source for the study of the history of linguistic ideas and terminology. The contribution examines the nature of metalinguistic labelling in Florio's dictionary and its consistency, and it explores the extent to which awareness of language variation (whether regional, diastratic, diaphasic or other) in both English and Italian is displayed.
