/"The so-called Vilnius Dictionary, in volume second only to the 8-volume Warsaw Dictionary by Jan Karlowicz et al. The authors "took as their basis [...] the stock of entries in Linde's dictionary.... The Vilnius dictionary illustrates well the state of Polish vocabulary at the beginning of the second half of the 19th century. Particularly richly represented in it are new borrowings, colloquial words, regionalisms (called provincialisms by the authors), especially the borderland regionalisms best known to the authors, and scientific, technical and professional terminology ... The scientific value of the dictionary lies in its reliability and in the richness of the vocabulary registered in it (about 110 thousand entries). Theauthors significantly expanded the qualifier system and gave it a modern formal shape" - description after Wikipedia, non-act. ownership stamp., miscellaneous bindings, Volume 2 trace of slight flooding, cracks in binding on spine/.
