KROPF, Albert : A Kaffir-English Dictionary

Lovedale Mission Press, 1899

Aear fine copy in the publisher's original full dark olive leather, edges worn else clean and tight. The best copy we have seen in 40 years trading. The scarce original edition of Kropf's important work. Pahl (1989: The Greater Dictionary of Xhosa xxxviii) regards Albert Kropf, as "the first lexicographer to have fathomed and thoroughly mastered the intricacies of Xhosa phonology ... so thorough and accurate that little fault can be found with it". He further suggests that "all future lexicographical work in isiXhosa must be based upon it".
