Etymology: < French calepin, < Italian calepino dictionary, polyglot, from the cognomen of the Augustine friar, Ambrosio Calepino, of Calepio in Italy, the author of a famous Latin Dictionary, first published in 1502, which in its many editions was the Latin Dictionary of the 16th century, and the foundation of the later work of Forcellini. There was an octoglot edition by Passerat in 1609.
Obsolete.
A dictionary (sometimes ‘a polyglot’); figurative one's book of authority or reference; one's notebook or memorandum-book.Hence the French phrases ‘je consulterai là-dessus mon calepin’, ‘cela n'est pas dans son calepin’, ‘mettez cela sur votre calepin’ (make a note of that to serve as a lesson), and the English (obsolete) ‘to bring any one to his Calepin’, i.e. to the utmost limits of his information.
