Description
English: Vocabulary used by Jewish Horse Traders, 1764.

What is extraordinary about this veterinary work designed for equestrians, is the "Anhang" or Appendix, which consists of 36 pages of Hebrew words and phrases which were used by Jewish horsetraders, transliterated into Gothic letters and provided with German definitions. The Appendix is subdivded in three parts. First, are presented the numbers in Hebrew, both in square Hebrew characters, and spelled out: Echod, Schnaim, Schloscho, etc. Next, in alphabetical order, is a comprehensive Hebrew-German dictionary. The dictionary is followed by five dialogues between Jewish horse traders in their peculiar Hebraeo-German jargon.

Here is an example for a typical conversation:
Wie jocker wollt ihr mirs nosenen?
Lo pochus als bead Kuf Rat.
Ihr send ein Golder Tippesch, es hat rechofene Talpaim in denen Achorim Raglaim und holchet wie ein Poro.
The German linear translation read: Wie theuer wollt ihr mirs geben?
Nicht weinger als um hundert Thaler.

Ihr send ein grosser Narr, es hat platte Huefe in denen hintern Fuessen und gehet wie eine Kuh.
