Shlama akhi Phil,

That's a great find! The Heptaglot Lexicon that is a companion work to Walton's Polyglot (also known as the London Polyglot) is available at this link..........

There's a book at Google Books that stated that Edmund Castell spent 18 hours a day for 17 years putting it all together! There were a few people mentioned in the book that had their life savings tied up in huge literary works and I could have swore that Castell was among that number.
This same book written about extremely determined people in the literary world also mentioned a man (forgot his name) who had considerable literary and mechanical genius. When he had prepared his voluminous writings, he couldn't find anyone to support him in his quest to get it all published so he used his mechanical skills to build his own printing press. After jumping other hurdles and hindrances and exhausting his last ounce of patience and finances he finally experienced breakthrough if I remember correctly. <!-- s:rockedover: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/rockdover.gif" alt=":rockedover:" title="Rocked Over" /><!-- s:rockedover: -->
