Breda (Netherlands): Ioannis à Waesberge 1650 An innovative work with multiple applications: The first section lists Hebrew words and their Latin translations, organized into logical categories, i.e.: God, Man, Plant, Elemental, etc. The second section is an alphabetical Latin language index followed by a Hebrew language index. Each section bears a numerical system allowing the user to cross-reference between the two. For example: In the Hebrew index, the word “Rosh” is translated as “Caput” beside which is the number 7. This directs the user to page 7, where “Rosh” is found on list relating to the human body. Similarly, in the Latin index, 7 appears next to “Caput.” An innovative work with multiple applications: The first section lists Hebrew words and their Latin translations, organized into logical categories, i.e.: God, Man, Plant, Elemental, etc. The second section is an alphabetical Latin language index followed by a Hebrew language index.
