Manuscript lecture notes on six lectures of classical philology, in German

Descripción

Manuscript lecture book, 8vo, pp. 318, [2], [42], [110], [80], [144], [144]; text in neat German longhand up until page 284 of the first section, in which the note-taker switches to shorthand for the remainder of the text; occasional text illustrations; quarter brown leather over marbled boards, marbled edges, gilt title on spine reading " Praelectionum academicarum volumen 1"; spine nearly detached, edges rubbed, text clean and sound. The anonymous lecture notes of a student at the University of Vienna. Six lectures are covered in all, with the first mostly in longhand and the rest transcribed entirely in shorthand, with the exception of names and Greek text. Each lecture has its own title page naming the lecture and lecturer, as follows: Encyclopaedie der classischen Philologie, Prof. Dr. K. Schenkl; Encyclopaedie der classischen Philologie (Fortsetzung), K Schenkl; Griechische Syntax, Dr. K. Schenkl; Romische Kriegs Altertumer, Dr. C[sic] Schenkl; Griechische Staatsaltertumer, Dr. Th. Gomperz Lateinische Grammatik (formeller Teil), Dr. W. Hartel; The last three lectures can be found as part of a list of upcoming lectures in Vol. 1 of Philologische Wochenschrift. Our anonymous student seems to have numbered the book by days, suggesting that the whole covers 105 days of lecture spanning two semesters, one in 1881 and another in the winter of 1881-82. His switch to shorthand unfortunately renders his notes illegible to all but those trained in the script, but most of the first lecture is legible, and the shorthand appears to be neat enough to be decipherable to a fluent reader.
