Rare. Published the same year as Vito’s Vocabulario dell lingua Tigrigna, this is one of the earliest dictionaries in Tigrinya. Moreover, it is only the second book published by the Swedish Mission Press and doubtless one of the first to be published on Ethiopic soil (Streclyn lists an earlier work dated 1894).
