Catalogue Note
first edition, based on Weismann's Lexicon Latino-Germanicum of 1674. The section at the end is an introduction to Russian grammar by V.E. Adodurov, very much based on current colloquial Russian rather than traditional Slavonic, which forms part of a larger grammar written by Adodurov around this time but not published (for details see J. Cracraft, The Petrine Revolution in Russian Culture (2004), pp.291-292).
