Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
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. Common irregular verb parts are now given as headwords for greater clarity, and boxed notes provide help with language usage, and with difficult words and constructions. Existing appendices on historical, mythological, and geographical names have been expanded to give greater detail, and there are new appendices on money, weights and measures, dates, and times, as well as sections on poetic meter, and medieval Latin. With pronunciation help and a guide to Latin grammar, this compact and affordable dictionary is a necessity for learners of Latin.

I bought this dictionary rather rashly as it was the only one left on the shelf at my campus bookstore. Needless to say I will be returning it as soon as I get an opportunity. Smallness being the only meritorious feature, the very very first entry I sought a definition for was, to my amazement, not there; and neither were the other two words I looked up after. I borrowed the HarperCollins Latin Concise Dictionary from the library and it too was rather disappointing though it contains 60,000 more entries than the Pocket OLD.

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.

This is a fairly useful Latin Dictionary... I got it, because I thought it would be useful as a student of law and the classics. Though, perhaps its overarching merit is simply its portability. Usefulness and comprehensiveness are sacrificed to the utilitarian value of small size. Jurists (e.g. legal scholars) and Medical professionals might find it lacks too many key Latin terms relevant to their discipline.

I used this to look up the meanings of anatomy terms as I prepare to start medical school this Fall. While studying an anatomy atlas with the dictionary sitting on the atlas the blue ink from this dictionary's cover smeared all over my anatomy book's pages. Otherwise it was useful. I spent three years learning ancient Greek and Latin a few years ago, and if you plan to go beyond the elementary level in Latin I suggest you get the Chambers Murray or the Cassell dictionary. Chambers Murray is actually quite portable, but heavy for its size.
