单词 | della crusca |
释义 | Della Cruscan. The name of an Academy established at Florence in 1582, mainly with the object of sifting and purifying the Italian language; whence its name, and its emblem, a sieve. The first edition of its Dictionary, the Vocabolario degli Accademici della Crusca, appeared in 1612, and the fourth, 1729–38, has long been considered as the standard authority for the Italian language. A new edition on more historical lines was begun in 1881. Derivatives Della-ˈCruscan adj. and n. (a) adj. of, pertaining to, or after the style of the Academy della Crusca, or its methods; also, applied to a school of English poetry, affecting an artifical style, started towards the end of the 18th cent.; (b) n. a member of this Academy, or English school of poetry. HenceOne of the noted writers of this school was Mr. Robert Merry, who (having been elected a member of the Florentine Academy) adopted the signature of Della Crusca, whence the name was extended to the school as a whole.
