A Comparative Dictionary of Tagalog was written by Franz Carl Alter (1749-1804), an Austrian Jesuit who taught at the University of Vienna. This translation, which was published in 1981, was done by Marlies Spiecker-Salazar and edited by Ernesto Constantino. The appendix containing a list of languages to which Tagalog was compared in this publication was made by Pedro A. Guasa, Jr.

The UP Department of Linguistics is currently in the process of digitizing past issues of the journal for public access.

This issue was originally published with the original German text and the English translation printed side-by-side. However, the two versions have been uploaded separately in order to make viewing the two texts easier in their digital format.
