Abstrakt
A purpose of the article is to present and characterize proper names
registered in the German-Polish dictionary by Krzysztof Celestyn Mrongovius
(1853/54) with particular consideration of toponyms, especially geographical
names, choronyms and hydronyms.
Rich and diversified onomastic material, adorned by frequently interesting
and valuable remarks by Mrongovius, proves the lexicographer’s good knowledge of the then current as well historical geography, mostly European and
Polish, including the lands that were the dearest to him: Pomerania, Warmia and
Masuria. Comprehensive acumen of a profoundly and scrupulously educated
European of the mid 19th century is confirmed here.
