The ''Dictionarium Anglo-Britannicum'' is a dictionary compiled by
philologist John Kersey, which was first published in London in 1708.
It was the third dictionary he had edited, after his 1702 ''
A New English Dictionary'' and his 1706 revision of
Edward Phillips' 1658 dictionary ''
The New World of English Words''. The ''Dictionarium Anglo-Britannicum'' is essentially an abridged version of this latter dictionary.
