Abstract: 
The complete edition of the unpublished manuscript Suplemento al Tesoro de
la lengua castellana by Sebastián de Covarrubias provides some necessary clues
to the understanding of its author's lexicographic criteria and of a number of
personal details, which, in the course of time, have made Covarrubias' work to be
considered as something original and unique among the huge Spanish lexicography.
Those details of biographic, anecdotic, popular, gastronomic type do not constitute
strictly lexicographical information, but this kind of information together with
some other of purely lexicographical interest permits us to recompose Covarrubias'
skill as a lexicographer, his everyday work in the making-up of the first monolingual
dictionary of the Spanish language.
