Unknown manuscript of Trondheim's Russian-German phrasebook

The article investigates the manuscript of a 17(th)-century Russian-German phrasebook, a previously unknown copy of the so-called Trondheim phrasebook. The authors consider transmission and text history and discuss problems in connection with the comparison of the two known copies, including an analysis of their individual linguistic features. The study points to the east Baltic region as the most likely place for the provenience and/or copying of the phrasebook.
