 Bantam Latin English Dictionary April 13, 2008
The Bantam Latin English Dictionary is a very useful reference, and I wish greatly that I had had it when I was studying Latin at university---a long time ago.

This Latin and English dictionary is perfect for anyone learning, studying or someone who is just curious about the Latin language. It provides ornate definitions for the Latin words, and it also has a wonderful English to Latin trnalsation section in the back.
It contains:
Both words and phrases used
Mythincal/Geographical/and Historical Names
Classical and Ecclesiastical Pronounciation guides
Hope this review helped, this book is definately recommended!
Handy and Concise February 28, 2008
This is a very handy and concise Latin Dictionary, plus it has a number of idiomatic phrases -- both Latin and English.
There are a few typos in the grammar guide, but it's easy to figure out what was going on.
It's also simple, straight-forward, and direct. It gives shades of meanings for major words like facio or venio.
Can't be beat for the price.
It has the words I want to look up February 28, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I wanted a Latin dictionary that would be easy to carry, so I went to a local bookstore and looked at several, using my standard technique for choosing dictionaries: I tried finding certain words in all of them. This was the only one with names of many "private" body parts and sexual practices.
It is not so much that I need to look up those particular words; I just think that a dictionary that excludes them is probably deficient in other respects. I like Virgil, but I also want to read the language of the streets.
All dictionaries translate words in isolation, but this one does a particularly good job of showing how they are used in common idiomatic expressions. For example, "thank you for" is translated "gratias tibi ago ob (w. acc)."
I own four Latin dictionaries and sometimes use others online, but this is the one I use most often.
