GEORGE DALGARNO (1626?-1687). Didascolocophus, or, The deaf and dumb mans tutor, to which is added a discourse of the nature and number of double consonants both which tracts being the first (for what the author knows) that have been published upon either of the subjects. Oxford: At the theater, 1680. [6], 132 p; 16 cm.

A linguistics writer rather than a physician, Dalgarno’s Didascalocophus was one of his last publications. It was an attempt to position the language of the deaf within sematology, the science of signs and language.
