Kim and all,
One thing that I REALLY liked when I was studying for my German exam for my MA was the Oxford-Duden pictorial dictionary. Not strictly art, but I photocopied the pertinent pages, like the one with an art studio, architecture, print shop, etc. that SHOW you what terms are used for what, and it's fairly technical. I see that there are Oxford Duden dictionaries for other languages, too. I would really love to have a polyglot pictorial dictionary! It would be a great help for cataloging, research, etc. in my own work, plus for student reference. Does anyone know of such an animal??

Subject: Re: [ARLIS-L] THANK YOU - polyglot art dictionary
Dear ARLIS,
Thank you for ALL the replies to my question. Several people asked me

all along to the student. Thanks again, Kim Collins

9) That sounds a lot like a pamphlet I used to use that was an aide for
art catalogers. If you put dictionaries--polyglot-art into WorldCat,
you'll put up similar stuff.
Quoting Kim Collins <[log in to unmask]>:

> reference to the source or anything similar and wonder if you might be
> familiar with it. It was a French/Italian/German/English dictionary of art
> history terms. Now that I'm cramming for my German exam it would really
