for Carlieri at the sign of S. Luigi Explanation: This dates from a time when addresses often consisted not of house numbers and street names, but of approximate locations. In English, 'at the sign of' often refers to the sign outside a tavern, which may give its name to a whole district, such as Elephant and Castle in London. I assume 'at the sign of S. Luigi' is the area around a church. Carlieri is be the name of the publisher/bookseller. All of the following references are from http://cord.ung.edu/lontopot.html Printed by William Wood dwelling at the W. end of Paules, at the sign of Time. 1601 Printed by S. S. for William Apsley dwelling in Paules church-yard at the sign of the T. H. 1600. Printed by Thomas Harper for Benjamin Fisher and are to be sold at his shop at the sign of the T, without Aldersgate. 1634. http://www.wordreference.com/iten/insegna -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2024-02-07 19:42:04 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Depending on the exact context, this might best be left untranslated. |
