Amst., P. van Dorth, (ca. 1770). Contemp. vellum. (4), 171, (3) pp.

Interesting edition of this most popular Latin dictionary by the Dutch physician and humanist Hadrianus Junius, which had first been published in 1567, and was used at schools for centuries. This edition, classified to subjects, is strongly abridged, and the Latin catchwords now are also translated into Dutch, although their explanations are in Latin. And instead of long lists of geographical names, the values of biblical and classical weights and measures, the  Roman calendar, etc. are given. This adaptation was especially composed for the "Illustrious" Latin School at Amsterdam, but it probably was used in many other cities too.

Good copy of a rare school-dictionary.- (Binding rubbed; few stains).
Cat. De Koning 63 (ed. of 1668); not in NUC.
