Idioticon Hamburgense
The Idioticon Hamburgense of Michael Richey from 1743 is the first dialect dictionary of the Hamburg dialect . The full title reads: Idioticon Hamburgense or word book to explain the Lower Saxon mouth style that is used in and around Hamburg . The Hamburg scholar Richey collected "typical Hamburg terms and idioms from the mouths of the people" over years of studies. At the suggestion of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz , he published this collection as a kind of lexicon in which he described the meaning and background of the expressions or translated them into High German . In 1755 he brought out an expanded second edition.
In the 19th century, the librarian and philologist Christoph Walther (1841–1914) continued with the collection and left around 12,000 individual handwritten documents on his death. The Germanist Agathe Lasch took this bundle as the basis for the Hamburg dictionary that she developed from 1917 onwards .
