In -folio, pp. X, 64. Mezza pelle, dorso mancante. Krapf fu il primo missionario protestante a visitare l’Africa Orientale: il suo vocabolario, qui in prima edizione, sarebbe stato un riferimento per i viaggiatori degli anni successivi. Il libro fu pubblicato direttamente in inglese, e non ne esiste una versione tedesca precedente. Notevole la composizione della pagina su sette colonne, con l’inglese a fare da lemmario e le altre lingue in sequenza. The first protestant missionary to visit East Africa, this Krapf’s vocabulary became a real reference to visitors of that land: directly published in english, there aren’t earlier German editions.
