Description

Explore the rich history of European reference works with this specialized volume from De Gruyter. This book provides a comprehensive look at European encyclopedias and dictionaries through historical portraits. It covers both Sachnachschlagewerke, such as the Brockhaus type, and Sprachnachschlagewerke, similar to the Duden style. The text addresses the general understanding of lexicons, noting how information regarding things and information regarding words often overlap. For researchers interested in historical works, this volume offers context on how these reference tools functioned in the past compared to modern versions used for current information needs. It is an essential resource for those studying the evolution of knowledge organization and linguistic documentation in Europe.
