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.

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

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