Oxford Latin Dictionary

Product Information

In 2018, six years after OSEO launched, it was decided that the need for a formal editorial board was no longer required, and instead we retain a number of the board as academic advisors. Alongside Editor-in-Chief Michael F. Suarez, S.J., they continue to ensure the highest editorial standards of scholarship. In 2012, a second edition of the dictionary was published in two volumes (the binding of the 1982 single-volume edition has a tendency to fall apart under the paper's weight); it removes some English translations now considered to be archaic, and presents the material in a clearer fashion using the Arno typeface. Never before online, the full text of the Oxford Latin Dictionary (OLD) is completely integrated with the Latin texts on OSEO.

Main senses indicated by numbers may be followed by a subsection or subsections; these are introduced by letters thus: 1 . . b . . c, etc. Some senses consist of two or more equally important elements, and in these the letter a is also employed, e.g. 2a . . b, etc. Newly commissioned supplementary material including an Introduction by Dr Christopher Stray, and a new bibliography Normally only long vowels in a metrically indeterminate position are marked (e.g. audītus, auē). Final ‘o’s, though frequently scanned short in Silver Latin, are regularly given their original value. Variants and Cross-References The references given in column one are normally the last possible for each work. This will make clear which system of chapter, paragraph, etc., division, or of pagination, is being followed, where two or more exist. Authors used as secondary sources are printed in lower case. The full form of post-classical or modern collections, anthologies, etc., is given in the Supplementary List (II). The abbreviations for these are usually printed with a lower-case initial (e.g. anth., poet., trag.). In the indication of date Roman numerals refer to centuries.Select any word in a Latin text and a pop-up menu will appear. Choose to look up the word in the Oxford Latin Dictionary:
