Levins: Manipulus Vocabulorum
Manipulus Vocabulorum by Peter Levins, edited by Henry Benjamin Wheatley (1867)
This is a reverse English dictionary, originally published in 1570, organized alphabetically by the final syllable of each English word, and the English words are provided with Latin translations. As a specimen of 16th-century English and Renaissance Latinity, it is fascinating to browse through!
