Abstract
In 1737 the German philologist Johann Georg Wachter (1663–1757) published an etymological dictionary of the German language, Glossarium Germanicum. This book had a great influence on the most prominent Swedish philologist of the eighteenth century, Johann Ihre (1707–1780), professor at Uppsala University. In 1769 Ihre published, along the same lines as Wachter's work, a Swedish etymological dictionary. The present article aims at tracing Wachter's influence on Ihre, and is partly based on manuscript evidence.
