About This Item
Frankfurt: Johannis Jacobi Hennei, 1612. First edition, issued the same year as that of Hanau, but this Frankfurt edition is far more rare; folio, *1-*4, A1-3P6, 3Q1-4, 3R1-3Z6, 4A1-4D6, 3 signatures missigned, pp. [8], 1992 columns, pp. [152]; early ownership inscriptions, small defects in the upper margins of leaves 4L4 through 4R2 (not touching letterpress), occasional spots and stains, some miscreasing of the pp., but generally a good, sound copy or better in full contemporary paneled calf, elaborate blind-tooled borders, spine with long crack neatly restored, clasps not preserved. A famous and important work by the Wittenberg professor and orientalist who did not live to see his greatest work, this Lexicon, into print. It is the first comparative dictionary of Semitic languages. Graesse and the British Library cite only the Hanover edition; Cordell possesses only a later (1653) edition. NUC locates only the Columbia Univ. copy of this Frankfurt printing; this edition not in Vancil.
