Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a lexicon published in 1757 that compiles thousands of Anglo-Saxon and Swedish words. It is a thorough volume that contains not only words and their corresponding translations, but also insights into the etymology and grammar of the two languages. The author, Jacob Serenius, spent years studying and comparing these languages and traveled extensively in order to gather information. The book is dedicated to the King of Great Britain, George II, whom the author believed would appreciate the work because of his interest in history and philology. According to the author, there was a growing interest in the history and structure of the English language, and this book aimed to deepen the understanding of English by exploring its historical roots. Serenius believed that languages such as Swedish and English had common roots in ancient Gothic that could be traced through the etymologies of words. The book is valuable to scholars and linguists, for whom it provides a unique window into the historical development of these two languages.
