Der Leyen Disputa. [Oppenheim: Jakob Köbel, c.1520]. 8° (149 x c.90mm). Collation: A-B8, with final blank. Types: 93G. Woodcut ornamental initials, two small woodcut illustrations. (Repaired tears and light worming, some text shaved.) Unbound original uncut sheets removed from a binding. Provenance: [Dr. Hans E. Goldschmidt (1909-1984)].
ONE OF ONLY TWO COPIES KNOWN of an early rhyming lexicon and thesaurus in German. Dedicated to young students, it presents words with rhyming synonyms. As an aid to oratory, it was also directed at public speakers, judges and priests. The only copy recorded is in the Jagiellonska Library at Krakow, having been removed from the Berlin State Library during the Second World War. A rare survival of an early vernacular linguistic and pedagogical work.
