A Dictionary of the Portuguese and English Languages

Anthony Vieyra Transtagano’s *A Dictionary of the Portuguese and English Languages* is a comprehensive bilingual reference designed to bridge linguistic and cultural gaps between Portuguese and English speakers. Aimed at students, travelers, and translators, the dictionary offers accurate translations, pronunciation guidance, and contextual meanings for a wide range of words and expressions. Transtagano’s work reflects scholarly precision and practical utility, supporting communication and language learning in both directions. Published in the 18th century, it played a significant role in facilitating trade, diplomacy, and education between English- and Portuguese-speaking nations, and remains a valuable resource in historical linguistics and translation studies.
