175723854Printed at Harg and Stenbro near Nykoping in Sweden by Pet. Momma 1757. 4to pp. 8 16 unpaginated lexicon in double column; full contemporary Swedish calf red morocco label; rebacked with old spine laid down endpapers renewed; spine quite rubbed but generally a good sound copy. With a 'Table of Terms of Trade and Navigation' and 'Words of Command and Sea-Terms' occupying 17pp. at the back and another on herbal terms occupying another 12pp. Serenius chaplin to the Swedish embassy in London 1725-35 where he tried to strengthen the relations between Sweden and Great Britain. It was during this time that he began work on his dictionary Dictionarium Suethico-Anglo-Latinum first published in Stockholm in 1741. Termed second edition the present work is basically a new undertaking being twice the size of the original with a much expanded emphasis on etymology. Serenius states in his preface that he has been influenced by Edward Lye and 'in a manner excited by the late lexicographer Mr. Johnson that prodigy of laboriousness and sagacity who in the preface to his excellent Dictionary complains of a scanty knowledge in northern literature É I must own that the judicious author is aright." This must be one of the earliest acknowledgements by a foreign lexicographer of the achievements of Johnson. Serenius does not say so but it seems likely that some of the etymologies were borrowed from him. <br/><br/> unknown books

6306One large woodcut diagram in the text. 24 unnumbered leaves. Small 4to modern boards. Nuremberg: G. Schenck 21 September 1502. First edition; this is the first of only two books known to have been printed by Georg Schenck and the author's only book. "In 1502 there was printed at Nürnberg a defense of astrology by Jakob Schonheintz a doctor of arts and medicine and a Franconian. He signs his preface at Würzburg. The immediate occasion of this defense was 'the impudence of a certain man who wishes himself to be considered a theologian although he is anything else than one who had attacked astrology and its professors. Pity for the unlearned who may take his attack seriously has moved Schonheintz to reply. He furthermore regards this preliminary skirmish as a preparation for a future encounter 'not with a cursed scribbler but with the most learned and most eloquent Giovanni Pico Mirandola most generous count of Concordia.' Schonheintz proceeds to say that no one has attacked astrology more bravely no one more learnedly no one with greater force and contention than Pico has."-Thorndike IV pp. 542-43. This book was much read and quoted in the early 16th century. Fine copy. ❧ Zinner 818. hardcover books
