This is the only remnant from my 3 years of high school Latin, back when I thought A) I was going to be a doctor, and B) I can improve my vocabulary by learning Latin. A didn’t happen when I realized I couldn’t stand looking at internal organs. B also didn’t happen because years 2 and 3 of Latin became odious translations of forum speeches, mostly Cicero. This dictionary sadly was no help with translating forum speeches. In fact, the Latin language is truly complex enough that a mere dictionary of this size is not realistic, i.e. not useful. Save the money and go buy something else more substantial. ( )

Not a very good dictionary; go for Cassell's instead. ( )

Yes, I know it's a very slim shot I'll ever use a Latin-English dictionary again. But Latin was such a strong point in my secondary and college education, I can't bear to get rid of the book. Maybe my boys will take Latin some day. Yeah, right. ( )

This is one of the best tools for anyone who has previously studied Latin. ( )
