El vocabulari català-alemany de 1502: "Vocabolari molt profitos per apendre Lo Catalan Alamany y Lo Alamany Catalan"

Abstract

Summary: Johan Rosenbachs Vocabulari is the first lexical index of Catalan and German, but it is not a completely original work. The aim of this paper is to produce evidence that shows its reliance on the early Italian dictionaries of his time, and especially on Introito e Porta (1477) from which the printer from Heidelberg took full paragraphs. [Keywords: Catalan-German dictionaries; Italian lexicography; history of printing]
