Greek-Latin Lexicon

Post by Montcombroux »

I recently acquired, from someone cleaning house, an interesting volume enitled <Lexicon Manuale Graeco-Latinum et Latino-Graecum> either published by or complied by one Corn. Schrevelii. The other name on the title page is Lugd. Batavorum et Roterodami. The work was published in Holland in 1664. One previous owner was Laur Adamson who signed the title page and added the date Augt 27 1724.
The leather binding is worn but surprisingly sound considering the age of the book. All pages are intact and readable.

I am curious if any forum member can throw light on this curious animal

It was a very popular work, and you have a fairly early edition of it (1st ed. 1654).

Online 1832 expanded edition (the most recent): https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id= ... =1up;seq=7
The "other name" is the place of publication, Leiden and Rotterdam.
