This study sheds light on the history of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century German-Latin lexicography, which has received very little scholarly attention to date, thus paving the way for future research. Analyzing dictionaries such as those by Kirsch, Scheller, and Kraft, it shows how the changing status and perception of Latin is reflected in the work of lexicographers.
