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.

I waffled on this for a good while and finally decided to make the purchase. Glad I did. This booklet has great content and is in very nice shape for its age, which I intend to look up as the Federal building in Helena was described as newly built, so that should pretty near nail the date. As described, well packed and here quick. Thanks !
