ADB VIII, 199. – Increased printing of the two linguistic papers of the Marburg philologist Johann Nikolaus Funck (1693-1777). "The focus of his work was the history and the Litterature of the Latin language. As early as 1720 he began with the writing 'De origine lat. ling.', in which Germanic and celtic influence on the design of the language is asserted; shortly afterwards followed 'De pueritia' and both came out more and more in 1735' (ADB).
