First edition of this lexicon to the New Testament, Greek-keyed with Latin explanations and synonyms, reference to Hebrew words, and occasional Syriac and Arabic. Numerous examples are noted, citing original chapter and verse. Together with Pasor (1619) and Schöttgen (1746) it ranks among the few lexica of high authority dedicated to New Testament Greek only, and is still serviceable. It formed the source to which much of 19th century theological interpretation and controversies reached back. Johann Friedrich Schleusner, 1756-1831, was professor of theology at Göttingen 1790, afterwards, Doctor and Professor of Theology and Second Director of the Theological Seminary at Wittenberg. Slightly worn at edges.
