O zawartości Słowniczka wyrazów weterynarskich z 1876 roku
On the content of Słowniczek wyrazów weterynarskich (Mini Dictionary of Veterinary Terms) of 1876

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to describe the first separate dictionary of Polish veterinary terminology, published two times in 1876. The first time as a supplement to Uzupełnienie słownika łacińsko-polskiego wyrazów lekarskich (Supplement to the Latin-Polish Dictionary of Medical Terms) of 1876 and the other time as an offprint of this supplement. The sixteen-page dictionary has 297 foreign-language entries (mainly Latin and German) with Polish equivalents – single terms or in synonymic series. The Polish material comprises a total of 303 terms. These are mainly multi-word names (172). Polish veterinary terms are predominantly native; borrowings or derivatives from them rarely appear among them. The terms collected in Słowniczek refer to various animals (they are most often names of their diseases), however, terms concerning horses predominate. The material in the dictionary is provided with numerous (usually short) annotations. Most of them (over 100) concern Polish terms. Some of these comments are geographical and stylistic qualifiers. The majority of the entries from Słowniczek (283) were repeated in the most important medical dictionary of the 19th century published in 1881.
