This is the best single book Latin reference I have ever seen. The book contains:Clear, extensive dictionary.Clear grammar explanations and lots of good examples (which most books frankly lack), of tricky things like "cases".A section on Latin phrases in use today.Information on things like the Roman calendar, measures, money and so on.The only drawback is the smallish format which makes them crunch up some of the information a bit. But its not too bad.If you are learning Latin this is a good book to take along.
I found the Collins Latin Dictionary in my local bookstore featuring both Latin to English and English to Latin. The dictionary is a medium sized book that is easy to handle--which is to say, for a dictionary, it is relatively small. The dictionary is a good value for the price. Given its scope and relatively small size, the only caveat is that it lacks references to some specialized theological terms. Overall I'd buy this dictionary again.
I am starting my second year of formal Latin study this fall, and with the Latin textbooks I use, the vocabulary words basically make up the dictionary section in the back of the books. I came across this "dictionary" in a Barnes and Noble, a knew from skimming through this among many others that this is the ONE! As I review my notes from my first year's study over the summer, this book also has grammar references, such as verb tenses and moods, dipthongs and pronuncition of vowels and consonants, popular and lesser known Latin sayings. The book also covers woer order, adjectives, and adverbs. Oh my, the dictionary even has a Roman history timeline, a perfect refernce as a Latin major to reference and review what I learned in Roman Civilization last spring. It has a great, broad selection of words from Latin to English and then a section translating from English to Latin. This book is livin' proof that Latin is not a dead language; to me it is alive and one hella beautiful language and helps me understand my native English, and helps me with Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese, languages I have some knowledge in. This dictionary also has Latin names for places formerly part of the Roman Empire, a reference for Latin Writers, and a family tree covering from trivatus, trivatia (great great great great grandfather and mother respectively); all the way to pronepos, preoneptis (great grandson, great granddaughter). Not only can you look up words you don't know, you can review grammar, history and much, much more!!! This one is a certified keeper. Librem carpe statim antequam deficiat! Get this book immediately before it runs out! Gosh, I love this language, and this reference guide.
There are approximately 160T entries in this volume. It coversthe supplemental history and culture for a plurality of latinwords and derivations. Sample definitions are as follows:o stega-decko laboro- to do worko sperata-brideIt is easy to read. Definitions are set forth in standard English. The volume is comprehensive . As such, it is an excellent value for the price charged. The work would be valuable for a plurality of latin scholars, journalists anda wide constituency of stakeholders in academe.
This is a very good product for Latin Class at school. It helps to translate words. It is very useful when having to write a story totally in Latin for the words not used very often. Very worthwhile purchase.
I got this for my mother, and we both agree that the nice white pages and good print is a real plus for our eyes. I studied Latin for several years, and I have to say that this dictionary is excellent. It goes well beyond being just a word list, but it doesn't get muddled in being overly academic, either. It also includes some nice review pages, etc.If you, like my mom, just want a quick resource as a reader's companion, this dictionary is perfect. If you are studying Latin I think you will find it to be a joy to use and browse, although you may also want something a little more academic (with, say, more etymological information) as you advance in your studies.
I just finished a semester of Latin. A Latin dictionary wasn't required, but I just wanted to learn extra words. This book is great; it tells you just about everything you could want to know. I definitely recommend this dictionary!
I am currently in my second semester of Latin, and I was tired of flipping through my textbook for translations. I asked my professor for a recommendation, and he was spot-on. Very easy to find things, clear font, small enough to carry but still has enough information in it. Definitely worth it.
