英语词汇andrea ferrara的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Andrea Ferrara. Many Scotsmen will know that an Andrea Ferrara is the Scottish broadsword frequently mentioned in Elizabethan literature, and more than a few will proudly claim that the original sword maker was a Scottish drill sergeant named Andrea Ferras or Ferrier. However, it is more likely that the real Andrea Ferrara was a 16th-century Italian sword maker who lived in Belluno and whose correct name was Andrea dei Ferrari, “Andrew of the armorers.” How his swords got to Scot- land is something of a mystery; either he was an exile, or as Sir Walter Scott suggests in the notes on Waverley, he was brought over by James IV or V to instruct the Scots in the manufacture of his blades. In any event, he left us with many references in literature to Andrea Ferraras, Ferraras, and even Andrews, all deriving from his name.
