Description

Three Latin dictionaries comprise this fifteenth-century Sammelband, still preserved in its original binding. The first of the three dictionaries, by Johannes Melber of Heidelberg, was intended for unschooled preachers and therefore includes vernacular German terms in its definitions. The second anonymous dictionary was extremely popular. The third dictionary was compiled by Wenceslaus Brack and is arranged by subjects.
