In 1610 Covarrubias became seriously ill, but he recovered and began work as an author. He published his Emblemas morales ("Moral Emblems") in 1610. He is best known, however, for his etymological dictionary, Tesoro de la lengua castellana o española (Thesaurus of Castilian or Spanish Language), originally published in 1611.[2] Though Covarrubias's supplement to the Tesoro was not published during his lifetime,[3] Spanish priest Benito Remigio Noydens produced a new edition in 1674.[citation needed]
