Among Stowassers publications in Upper Austrian dialect translated Greek epigrams , the Greek translated Upper Austrian "Gstanzln" ( Greek Schnadahüpfeln , 1903) and a Latin -English dictionary (1894). The latter appeared in numerous editions, became a widespread school dictionary and achieved the status of a classic as “Der Stowasser”. For a long time the German words were set in Fraktur in order to set them apart from the Latin words that were set in Antiqua .
The Kleine Stowasser , which was edited by Michael Petschenig after Stowasser's death and first appeared in 1913 and was published until 1991, was particularly popular as a school dictionary . For the centenary in 1994, the first edition of the dictionary, reworked by Fritz Lošek and now titled Stowasser , appeared, the cover of which was designed by the artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser . In 2016 the Stowasser was last completely revised and modernized.
