MONATH, Peter Conrad. *Primitiva Latinae Linguae, Germanice Explicata, Gallice Accomodata*... Nuremberg, Pet. Conrad Monath, 1736. In-12 (17.5 x 11 cm), cardboard binding, Bradel style, plain spine with a pasted title label. 19th-century binding. 71 pp., 12 ff. (table of contents) + 71 plates. Spine rubbed. First edition. A rare work intended for the teaching of Latin, published in Nuremberg in 1736 by the publisher Peter Conrad Monath. The Monath publishing house, which also had a branch in Vienna, published numerous works, mainly scholarly. In the preface, addressed to headteachers and teachers, the author suggests that a child learning six words a day will master the basics of Latin within a year. The vocabulary is presented in Latin, German and French, with a plate of illustrations opposite each entry to clarify the corresponding term. In total, there are 1,700 copperplate engravings spread across 71 plates. A fine copy, with the text and plates in very clean condition.
