Catalogue Note
Verancsics's Dictionarium quinque nobilissimarum Europae linguarum (see lot 4800) is here revised and expanded in collaboration with the Prague Benedictine Petar Loderecker to include entries in Czech and Polish as well as indices into Latin for each language. A facsimile, edited by Antonin Mestan, appeared in 1984.
