What Our Customers Say...

Description

First Edition, Rebound, Scarce

The scarce first edition of physician, politician and writer Jose de Lacerda's Portuguese-English dictionary.

Arranged alphabetically, Lacerda explains in his preface that 'the vocabulary of the Portuguese language, which served as a basis to this dictionary, is doubtless more extensive than any one of the Portuguese Dictionaries hitherto published'.

Lacerda offers a wealth of Portuguese words, alongside their English language definitions.

With the perforated stamp of the University of Minnesota Library to the tail of the title page, a further library stamp to the tail of the following leaf, and the stamp of A. M. Norton to the head of the first leaf of 'A'. In a full cloth library binding.

A smart copy of this scarce but impressive Portuguese-English dictionary.

Condition
