[DCRM-L] Latinization of proper names

[Young, Stephen]

The printed book Lexicon nominum virorum et mulierum by Carl Egger is a terrific reference source for this. It's apparently available from AbeBooks, but I haven't found a digitized version..

Subject: [DCRM-L] Latinization of proper names

Hello, again, everyone;

We are just getting familiar with the resources on RBMS and elsewhere.

We see a handy conversion table for Latin place names (Marpurgi = Marburg (Germany) etc.) - but cannot find a similar resource to help us decipher proper names.

Specifically, for us right now, German ones... here's a sample: Johannem Wesselium. (Johan? Johannes? Wessel? Wessels?) and so on.

Hints or directions appreciated!

Karen
