Abstract

In this paper I wanted to elaborate on the importance of Johann Christoph Adelung as a lexicographer and encyclopedist, and not just as an expert philologist and grammarian of the German language. The paper builds on previous research of Jocher’s Allgemeines Gelehrten-Lexicona, and in the context of that lexicographical work sheds light on Adelungs supplementary volumes bearing in mind available information sources that Ade¬lung used, methodology and outline of headwords, scope of the work and objectives Adelung wanted to achieve.
