Das Engelhusvokabular: Lexikographie, Diktat und Lateinunterricht im Spätmittelalter

Dietrich Engelhus used an ambitious multilingual dictionary in an attempt to make the complexities of the Latin language intelligible for his students. But did he set his didactic aims too high? And what was the impact of his work in Low-German nunneries? This XML-based metalexicographic, educational historical analysis of parallel dictated manuscripts suggests answers to these questions.
