Product Description

Product Description
This is a major new edition of the Pocket Oxford Latin Dictionary, offering essential coverage of Latin words and grammar, as well as extra information on Roman history and culture. It has been updated to take account of 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 metre, and medieval Latin. With a timeline of important dates, and biographies on Roman writers, this edition is packed with interesting and essential information on Roman history and culture. Also with pronunciation help and a guide to Latin grammar, this compact and affordable dictionary is a necessity for all students and adult-learners of Latin.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing ..., 21 Feb 2007
This dictionary is a set text for my 3rd-level OU Latin course, but in my opinion it is not up to the normal OUP standard. Although edited by James Morwood, it seems to be the insensitive abridgement of a much larger work. Although the basic vocabulary is probably adequate, there are not enough phrases/idioms present, esp. on the English-Latin side. On the plus side, the print format is very clear, and the grammar section is quite good.

May suit some, but if you're really serious about the finer details, look elsewhere.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not the best, 11 Jun 2009
By Jonathan Hallett (Bristol, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The Pocket Oxford is an adequate Latin dictionary, with a reasonable grammar section, but it has some weaknesses especially for someone just starting in Latin.

My main gripe is that its coverage of irregular verb parts isn't at all good. The Collins dictionaries (even the little Gem) are much better when it comes to having headwords for odd bits of verb.

Another gripe is that this really isn't a pocket dictionary unless you have unusually large pockets!

My last gripe is that it is printed on really thick, rough paper, which makes it larger than necessary and not at all easy to flick through.

I'd advise beginners to buy the Collins Gem if you just want a dictionary or the Collins Dictionary and Grammar if you want a grammar as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars it is very uaseful,of course,i do like it, 25 May 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Pocket Oxford Latin Dictionary (Paperback)
This dictionary is enough to the common classic works,such as Caeser,Cicero,Virgil and others,as a postgraduate student of classics,I still think it is enough,in fact 90% readings,only when you want to go deeply,maybe you need a Oxford Latin Dictionary;this dictionary also including some grammer,when something you are not sure,you don't need a grammer book,just try in this dictionay. All in all,it 's a excellent work now.
