Title: Some words of the Woolwa Indians at the headwaters of Bluefields River, Nicaragua / collected by Julius Fröbel, 1851 ; from Squier's Nicaragua, N[ew] York, 1852. [ca. 1872?]

C. Hermann Berendt's transcription of 56 vocabulary entries, including the numbers 1 to 10, in English and Ulva (Ulua, Woolwa), as collected by Julius Fröbel in 1851 among the Ulva Indians in the Chontales department of Nicaragua, around the source of the Bluefields, or Escondido River, and conveyed by E.G. Squier in his two-volume work Nicaragua, its people, scenery, monuments, and the proposed interoceanic canal, published in 1852 (New York: D. Appleton & Co.; vol. 2, p. 324-325). In a note on the title page, Berendt calls attention to the fact that, while Squier, in the body of his text, had tentatively named the language Chondal, after the department of Chontales where it was spoken, he later corrected himself when he wrote the preface (Squier, vol. 1, p. xxii); there he states that Fröbel's vocabulary represents the language of the Woolwa Indians. Except for the rearrangement of the order of the entries so that the numbers appear at the end of the list, Berendt's version appears to correspond exactly to the published one, and is free of annotations (the question marks that appear next to a few of the words were in the published version). Also included is a sheet of notes by Berendt (tipped in, p. 5), dated March 1872, pertaining to Pablo Lévy's work Notas geográficas y económicas sobre la República de Nicaragua (1873), including a vocabulary list, most entries of which are transcribed from a list in Lévy's book (p. 298). Berendt gives English rather than Spanish equivalents; and makes comparisons to Ulva words from Fröbel in red ink. Lévy identified the vocabulary only in a general way, as the language of Indians among whom he had lived, calling them Carib. Berendt considered it to belong to the language of the Ulva Indians; for his more formal transcription and presentation of the vocabulary from Levy, including a comparison to Fröbel's vocabulary, see Ms. Coll. 700, Item 145. Two further leaves of notes (tipped in, p. 6) comprise a list of words under the heading: Words in common use in Nicaragua; the accompanying page references indicate that Berendt culled these words from other sections of Lévy's work; he provides English explanations of their meanings.

Holborn, Hajo, 1902-1969. Hajo Holborn papers, 1849-1976 (inclusive), 1849-1969 (bulk).

Title: Hajo Holborn papers, 1849-1976 (inclusive), 1849-1969 (bulk).

The papers consist chiefly of notes, manuscripts, documents, minutes of parliamentary committees, pamphlets and other materials collected by Hajo Holborn in connection with research on the drafting of the Weimar constitution. The pamphlets include works on related subjects, such as the German revolution of 1918, the Workers' and Soldiers' Councils, constitutional history and federalism in Germany, territorial questions concerning Silesia and the Saar, and materials on German political parties, including minutes of meetings, leaflets and printed matter from the Deutsche Demokratische Partei. Some of the DDP material is particularly addressed to women. Also in the papers are essays and reviews by Holborn, teaching materials from his tenure at the Hochschule für Politik in Berlin and Yale University. There is only a small amount of correspondence, largely on professional matters. Important correspondents are Friedrich Meinecke and Alfred Vagts, who also contributed a memoir on Holborn.
