Book Overview

This new edition of the Pocket Oxford Latin Dictionary offers essential coverage of Latin words and grammar, as well as extra information on Roman history and culture. It has been updated to take into account the latest research into Latin, and is designed specifically to fit the needs of today's student. It covers over 46,000 words and phrases, including additions from the writings of Plautus and Terence, and from the study of Silver Latin.

ease of use

I bought this dictionary for my son who is taking Latin I this year. He had complained that the dictionaries that they had at school were very difficult to use since they gave every possible definition or translation. He loves this dictionary! He would highly recommend this dictionary for every beginning latin student.
