Completions and corrections to the Hungarian bibliography of the 17th and 18th centuries

The old book

Summary/Abstract: The works of Hungarian bibliographers during the 17th and 18th centuries represent a very important part of the ancient books collection that can be found at Arad County Library. First, we have to mention the posthumous edition of the famous Dictionarum Latino Hungarico Latinum written by Molnar Albert (1574-1633); the first posthumous edition has been published in two distinctive volumes having the same year and place of printing, but different structure: the first is written in three languages (Latin, Greek, Hungarian), the second in two languages (Latin, Hungarian).Another important book that we can find at Arad is Bibliotheca Graeca et Latina. Berolini, Typis Ioannis Frederici Unger 1784 written by Karoly Imre Reviczki who uses a pen name – Periergus Deltophilus. It is an Editio altera.The 18th century is also represented by Teleky Jozsef with his book Essai sur la foiblesse des esprits-forts; the County Library has not the Leyde edition, but another copy printed at Amsterdam.We must also refer to a famous book Memoires sur les turcs et les tartares, written by a French baron of Hungarian origin François de Tott (1733-1793). The library has a copy from the second edition. All those examples prove that these books – it does not matter if we take into consideration the first, the second or the third edition etc – are very important in order to reconstitute the activity of Hungarian writers during the 17th and 18th centuries.
