The paper speaks about three 19th century dictionaries compiled by Ramón Campuzano, one of the lesser authors of the time. It presents a short historical Spanish non-academic lexicographical background, followed by a biographical note about the author. The major part of the paper is dedicated to an analysis of Campuzano?s dictionaries, beginning with a Gypsy-Spanish dictionary, which is an interesting item, but not very credible, followed by Diccionario manual, a purely commercial publication, and finally Novísimo diccionario, which seems more intesting because it is the first illustrated Spanish dictionary.
