The Raccolta di voci affatto sconosciute o mal note ai lessicografi ed ai filologi of Enrico Zaccaria, published in 1919, is an early example of the innovative potential of historical lexicography. The author compiles about 10.000 mostly unusual and peripheral words taken from up to then little known sources. Zaccaria was not an expert in historical linguistics, but earned his life as a school teacher. As a consequence, the systematic arrangement of the Raccolta and the historical and etymological comments present relevant drawbacks. The lexical documentation itself, however, is highly innovative and reliable. It is astonishing that this rich resource has not yet been completely exploited by modern lexicographers.
