Latin Lexicon

[jbelokur]

Would someone recommend a Latin Lexicon to me. One that is geared toward Ecclesiastic Latin. Thanks! Also, one that is in print and easy to obtain.

This is the one that my Latin professor recommended to us:

That’s a good one!
But word of warning: It is strictly Latin->English lookup, there is not English->Latin section. This makes sense, as the Church has never asked me to translate English into Latin, only I have sometimes desired to go the other way.

Not a stand-alone lexicon, but I love the Latin->English glossary of John F Collins’s *Primer of Ecclesiastical Latin *-- It is arranged by roots rather than strictly alphabetical, which is a great vocabulary builder,

What do you think of the Dictionary of Ecclesiastical Latin? It was recommended to me eleswhere.

I agree. Meanings become a lot clearer when words are grouped the way they are in Collin’s book. I have them all on index cards and review them daily.
