Description

Petrus Dasypodius: Dictionarium Latinogermanicum


The aim of the Strasbourg teacher Petrus Dasypodius (Peter Hasenfuss) was “to prise out the old, dirty gems and replace their barbarisms with the true classical Latin.” In his two-part Dictionarium, first published in 1536, he achieved this goal by anybody’s standards: between 1536 and 1600 alone the work went through at least 19 editions and a further 8 editions appeared reworked by the Cologne printer P. Metternich as Dasypodius Catholicus.
Dasypodius’ work was so successful and had such international influence (in the Czech lands and the Low Countries), that it is no exaggeration to call it the beginning of modern lexicography in the German-speaking region and the school dictionary of 16th-century Germany.
