    Collection of books, pamphlets and periodicals relating to international languages, primarly Volapük, (bulk 1831-1889)

    Rare Books

    Collection of books and pamphlets relating to international or universal languages. The bulk of the collection focuses on the Volapük language. Volapük is a constructed langauge created between 1879 and 1880 by Johann Martin Schleyer with grammatical roots in European languages and vocabulary drawn from English, German and French. Other major languages represented: Spelin, Esperanto and Interlingua. The gift originally consisted of 126 titles and a type-written list is included in the first box. The titles apparently were later arranged alphabetically by author, numbered and placed in magazine-file boxes. The current number of titles is 88 in 9 boxes. The bulk of materials were published between 1831 and 1889 in Germany, France, Austria, Spain and elsewhere in Europe as well as the United States. No. 88 appears to have been added later and is Gode, Alexander. Interlingua at sight. New York, 1954; provenance is unknown.
