Adriaen van Schrieck (1560-1621) set out to prove that the Flemish language is much older than Greek and Latin. The title-p. of the first book is in Latin but the work is in Dutch. The second book is a Latin-language etymological dictionary, in which the author stretched the etymologies of several languages to accomodate his point. - Brunet, V 242.€ 300
