Bucher J. A Kannada-English School Dictionary

(Йоханнес Бухер, Школьный каннада-английский словарь, главным образом основанный на работах Ф. Киттеля). — Basel Mission Book & Tract Depository, Mangalore, 1899. — 474 p. The present work is designed to form a companion volume to the well known and much appreciated English-Canarese School-Dictionary, compiled by the Rev. F. Ziegler, The publication of a Kannada-English School-Dictionary has for a long time been a deep-felt desideratum, as the two smaller editions hitherto extant have but insufficiently served their purpose. The stupendous work of the Rev. Dr. Kittel, the eminent lexicographer of the Kannada language, whose unremitting labours have set a permanent literary monument to the language, standing out in bold features of historical, etymological and philological, critical researches for guidance and instruction to litterateurs striving after Kannada embellishment and scholarship, held out promising inducements and marked facilities to undertake this work which is chiefly based upon it.
