Notes
  • Tentative dated from Engelbrecht peepshows.
  • "Cum privileg: sacra Caes: Maj." --Title page.
  • Hand-colored picture dictionary comprising 100 engraved plates with nine images on each plate, with corresponding German, Latin, French and Italian terms below each image.
  • The plates are organized by nouns by Latin declination, adjectives grouped by termination, verbs by conjugation, and concluding with irregular verbs and anomalies.
  • The layout of the plates--grids of images similar to a lottery sheet--is similar in concept to Louis Couvay's Methodus novus et accurata docendi (also in Cotsen collection).
  • Cotsen copy: Gift of Pamela K. Harer.
