The larger part of this little book, published at Brewer's press in Levoca (for which see lot 4414), is a Latin-Hungarian vocabulary. However, it also contains a large number of Latin-Hungarian phrases arranged in a dozen sections with such titles as "de fortitudine et imbecillitate" and "de turbulentis et tranquillis" and an appendix "de ambiguis".
