C. M. Doke and B. W. Vilakazi (editors), Zulu-English Dictionary. Johannesburg: Witwatersrand University Press, 1949.

Small quarto (25 x 19 cm), hard cover, original blue buckram, gilt to spine, dustwrapper, 901 pages.

Dustwrapper worn with sections missing, text edges foxed, very small, light tide mark in the very last few top margins. In very good condition.

'When the English and Zulu Dictionary (Doke, Malcolm and Sikakana ) was published in 1958, the compilers intended it as a companion to the Zulu-English Dictionary compiled by Doke and Vilakazi (first published 1948; Second Edition 1953). These two dictionaries have long been recognised as the standard works in their field.' (Witspress website)
