In the early 15th century a number of glossaries appeared,
such as that of Lucillo Minerbi on Boccaccio in 1535, and those
of Fabrizio Luna on Aristo [ disambiguation needed ], Petrarca ,
Boccaccio and Dante in 1536. In the mid-16th the dictionaries
began, as listed below. In 1582 the first language academy was
formed, called Accademia della Crusca, "bran academy", which
sifted language like grain. Once formed, its publications were
standard-setting.
