A great dictionary for its price. I always recomend this edition to anyone who is a student of Latin who needs an affordable, comprehensive dictionary to work with.

This is one of the better sources for more advanced Latin studies, a quite substantial volume.

Required reading when I studied Latin. ummmm. Older edition, of course. It is the best Latin Dictionary for a student that I'm familiar with. One of these days I'm going to sit down and read Ovid. And maybe Tacitus.

Well, morituri salutamus, and all that y'know. Valite.

This may be one of the best resources out there for anyone learning Latin, or just reading early Latin works. It's concise, it's accurate, and (considering its price) one of the best resources there is, outside of academia.
