Description
Rare 1822 Three-Volume Set of Schellers Lateinisches Handlexicon – Latin-German and German-Latin Dictionary
For sale is a rare and highly collectible three-volume set of Schellers Lateinisches Handlexicon, published in 1822. This invaluable lexicon is an essential piece for collectors of classical works, philology scholars, and those with an interest in 19th-century linguistic studies.
Details of the Set:
* Volume 1: Lateinisch-Deutsch (A-L)
* Volume 2: Lateinisch-Deutsch (M-Z)
* Volume 3: Deutsch-Lateinisch (A-Z)
Each volume provides comprehensive translations and contextual usage for Latin and German, making this set a key reference for both historical language studies and academic use.
Condition:
* Volume 1: Front and back boards are detached, but the text block remains intact, making it an ideal candidate for restoration by a professional bookbinder.
* All Volumes: Exhibits sporadic foxing, typical of books of this age, but the text remains clear and easily legible.
* Original Boards: All three volumes retain their original boards, adding to their authenticity and historical value.
Why This Set Stands Out:
This set is complete, offering both Latin-to-German and German-to-Latin translations in the original 1822 edition, a rare find for any collector of antiquarian books or classical works. Despite the detached boards on Volume 1, the overall structure and internal pages are well-preserved, providing a solid foundation for restoration or display.
Ideal for:
* Antique book collectors
* Scholars of classical languages
* Enthusiasts of 19th-century academic works
* Lovers of historical linguistics and philology
Don’t miss this opportunity to own a piece of linguistic history. With a little care and attention, this set can be beautifully restored to its former glory and will make a fine addition to any rare book collection.
