VMs: Janus Gruterus' dictionary of shorthand characters...?



Hi everyone,

I've seen mention of Bishop John Wilkins claiming that Janus Gruterus [1560-1627] had published a dictionary of shorthand characters. Can any of our Dutch-reading (or Latin-reading!) list members please see if a copy of this (even a fragmentary one) still exists anywhere?

Searching at http://blpc.bl.uk/ - for Gruterus, Janus - gives numerous Latin-titled hits (including a 3-volume "Florilegium ethico-politicum"), any of which might also contain this... all help gratefully received! :-)

Thanks, .....Nick Pelling.....
