This revised and updated edition includes a brand new foreword by Richard LaFleur and more than fifteen hundred new entries and abbreviations. Organized alphabetically within the categories of verba (common words and expressions), dicta (common phrases and familiar sayings), and abbreviations, this practical and helpful reference guide is a comprehensive compendium of more than 7,000 Latin words, expressions, phrases, and sayings taken from the world of art, music, law, philosophy, theology, medicine and the theatre, as well as witty remarks and sage advice from ancient writers such as Virgil, Ovid, Cicero, and more.
Fantastic Reading for the Latin Student ^ I just happened to run across this book the other day, and have not put it down. It has relly given me a great way to look up phrases and termonology that I had been searching for. Please do not use the online translators, they are pure garbage and will not gine you the correct grammar or translation for the phrase you are looking for. This book does not have them all, but it does have many, many that you may have seen or heard over the years. I would recommend it for anyone who has an interest in Latin at all, or for the student of Latin who is starting out. You can increase your Latin vocabulary tremendously right now if you really wanted just by reading this book. A lot of fun and a must have.
