About Oxford Latin Dictionary, Volumes I and II (Second Edition)As the world’s most authoritative dictionary of Classical Latin, the monumental, two-volume Oxford Latin Dictionary offers unsurpassed coverage of the language of Rome from its beginnings until AD 200. More than half a century in the making and originally published as a series of fascicles in 1968, a single-volume reference work in 1982, and now this indispensable resource is available in a revised and freshly redesigned two-volume second edition. In addition to 40,000 headwords and 100,000 senses, this dictionary includes a vast collection of illustrative quotations taken from the canon of classical literature, arranged for the first time conveniently under each sense and subsense. It incorporates a significant amount of editorial updating, including revised English translations, expansion of abbreviations, and clearer labeling throughout the text. The new design is a masterpiece of concision and clarity. Finally, the supplementary material has been revised and includes a new introduction by noted Classical scholar Christopher Stray, a Guide to Using the Dictionary, and a redesigned bibliography. The Oxford Latin Dictionary is a comprehensive and authoritative reference work—an absolutely essential work for all serious students of Latin. |
