Rotterdam, Hermannus Kentlink, 1736. Sm.8vo. Contemp. vellum. With woodcut ornament on title. (2), 145, (1 blank) pp.

18th century edition of undoubtedly the most popular Latin-Dutch vocabulary of the 16th to the 19th centuries. Compiled by the Dutch physician and humanist scholar, Hadrianus Junius (1511-1575), the first edition was published by Plantin in 1567. The earliest Plantin editions included Greek and several modern languages, but editions greatly vary. Dutch Latin School-editions often had only the explanation in Latin of the Latin catchwords, but the present edition intended for the "Erasmus school" in Rotterdam only has Latin catchwords without explanation, followed by the Dutch, Greek - if existing-, and French equivalents.
The vocabulary itself is always arranged systematically under chapters with titles like "De re libraria & literaria", "De Homini et humani corporis partibus", "De quadrupedibus", "De avibus" etc. At the end of our edition a chapter with geographical names, a "Kalendarium", and lists of numbers are present. The words are printed in different types, the Latin words in Roman, the Dutch in Gothic type, the Greek in a small Greek type, and the French words in Italics.

Good interleaved copy, with bookplates of J.B. Vervliet and old ownership's entry on first free and third fly-leaf: "P.J. Daems, 1810".- (Binding stained; first blanks cut out; sm. corner torn out from last leaf).
Claes, Bibliogr. Dutch Diction., 235; cf. Buisson p. 372 (first Plantin ed. of 1567); Cordell Coll. of Dict. p. 101 (London ed. of 1585, and Geneva ed. of 1619).
