Heyden, Sebaldus: Nomenclatura rerum domesticumThe Nomenclatura rerum domesticum by the Nuremberg schoolmaster Sebald Heyden (1499-1561) is a Latin-German vocabulary wholly suited to the teaching of Latin. The first edition, printed by Johann Petreius in Nuremberg in 1530, makes clear the author’s educational intentions: Heyden divides his glossary into lectiones for each day of the week, arranged by subject, which contain relevant and regularly-used Latin words with German explanations. As the number of later editions shows, Heyden’s Nomenclatura became a much-loved textbook, albeit with a greater or lesser degree of alteration. The Mainz edition printed by Ivo Schöffer (1534) not only differs from the first edition in its layout but is also augmented with additional words taken from, among other sources, the two other major school vocabularies of the 16th century, the Pappa by Johannes Murmelius, and Georg Maior’s Vocabula Terum. | |
