Neues Spanisch-Deutsches Wörterbuch by Theodor Stromer

Description

Neues Spanisch-Deutsches Wörterbuch by Theodor Stromer is a reference work, specifically a bilingual dictionary, written in the late 19th century. The dictionary aims to provide a comprehensive resource for translating Spanish words and phrases into German and vice versa, catering primarily to the practical needs of commerce and industry while emphasizing clarity and conciseness. The opening of this dictionary includes both a preface in Spanish and German, outlining the work’s intent and methodology. Stromer highlights his reliance on notable dictionaries, including the classical Diccionario de la Real Academia Española, and explains that the book incorporates various linguistic innovations and technical terms. He also addresses the complexities of orthography in both languages, providing guidance on pronunciation and a detailed appendix with abbreviations and idiomatic expressions. The preface suggests that the dictionary was painstakingly compiled to foster understanding and communication between Spanish and German speakers, acknowledging potential imperfections while expressing hope for its utility.
