Rating Sources
Reviewers consistently praise the dictionary's excellent presentation, noting its gilded spine and decent binding, which makes it a superior choice for frequent daily use compared to a paperback. Beyond standard Latin-English and English-Latin word coverage, the book is commended for its extensive additional content. This includes key dates from the Roman Empire, essential Latin authors, information on Roman money, geographical names, and guidance on classical Latin pronunciation. It is also highlighted as a potential primer for individuals with no prior foundation in Latin.
However, a consistent point of criticism across reviews is the dictionary's grammar section, which is described as lacking and in need of significant improvement. Reviewers express frustration that a dedicated Latin Grammar book is published separately, unlike competitors who integrate such material into a single, more convenient package. Another minor but noted drawback is the placement of the Roman numeral guide, which is oddly sandwiched in the middle of the book rather than being more accessibly located at the front or back.
In summary, this dictionary is highly regarded for its physical quality and comprehensive scope beyond just vocabulary, making it a valuable desk reference. While its grammar section is its main weakness, requiring users to potentially seek a separate, more detailed grammar guide, it serves as an excellent resource for daily Latin word lookup and general cultural context. This book would particularly appeal to frequent users of Latin dictionaries, those seeking a sturdy desk edition, and individuals interested in a broad introduction to Roman language and culture, even without prior Latin experience.
