Hi Regina
We have the publication and it is quite good. Three columns very clearly
done - English,French and German.
To answer your question on "oil", some examples are
oil colors
oiled charcoal
oil gilding
oilspot glaze....and so on.
In other words, it has both words and phrases.
Some of the phrases are amusing and surprising, i.e.
-testing of the virgin with water
-hide and seek play
-petticoat breeches
-heroic nakedness
It is worth purchasing if you get a chance to do so.
