Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The American Ecclesiastical Review, Vol. 39: A Monthly Publication for the Clergy One of the rarest of printed books is a vocabulary, or encyclopedia of all knowledge, which was compiled toward the end of the ninth century by Salamo, Bishop of Constance. The Vocabularium Salamonis, as it is called, must have been at one time a very popular book; and not only in Salamo´s own day, but for centuries after his time, it must have been very much used in the schools. The fact that it was among the first books printed would indicate a continuance of its popularity down to the fifteenth century. With the access, however, of more modern encyclopedias and the appearance of compilations better suited to the growing educational needs, the demand for it diminished. It was, seemingly, never reprinted; it is very rarely mentioned in the literature of the last three centuries; even in the carefully prepared article on Encyclopedias in the Britannica it is passed over in silence, and at the present day there are perhaps not more than half a dozen copies of the printed book in existence. Of these, two are among the most precious possessions of the Stadt und Universitats Bibliothek in Munich.
