Novus Linguae et Eruditionis Romanae Thesaurus
The Novus Linguae et Eruditionis Romanae Thesaurus by Johann Matthias Gesner (1691-1761) is a classical lexicon of the Latin language with the enormous bulk of examples taken from Latin authors, accurately interpreted by one of the greatest classical philologists of all times. In this work, Gesner, librarian and professor of rhetoric at the G”ttingen University, increased, with his many additions and alphabetical arrangements, the value of the classical work, first published in 1531 as the “Thesaurus Linguae Latinae”.
