Gabriele G. Adeleye
Gabriele G. Adeleye, a Fulbright scholar in 1980 and again in 1992, collaborated with Kofi Acquah-Dadzie on the unpublished manuscripts for A Dictionary of Latin Expressions for Lawyers and Men of Letters and An English Dictionary of Foreign Expressions for Lawyers, Scholars, Journalists, Etc. Convinced of the need for a more comprehensive work accessible to a wider audience, Adeleye merged the two works into World Dictionary of Foreign Expressions (Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers, 1999).
