## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ very reliable
*by K***M on February 29, 2024*

I have several Latin dictionaries, among which I usually consult Traupman's dictionary.This time I tried this Cassell's dictionary, following an advice by Latinitium.com.I still like Traupman's, but Cassell's pleases me too.This dictionary is well organized and structured.I can "understand" how each word has come to have such and such meanings by reading its definition.Trauptman's is very useful because it shows several meanings of a word almost like a list,but this way of consulting does not always leave deep impressions on your memory.Cassell's has a hard cover, while the other one is of paper-back.I appreciate hard covers because I often uses dictionaries. I hope that they will last long.But I do not like thumb index of Cassell's so much.They demand some space of each page even if it is not so much.I would like that Cassell's would have little bigger fonts, while I prefer Trauptman's clear and "eye-friendly" fonts. The latter has larger space for each page without any thumb indexes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent value
*by B***R on November 26, 2014*

This is a far better value than the Oxford Latin Desk Dictionary for about the same price. (See my review of that book.) It doesn't come up to the standard of the great Lewis & Short work, but for less than 1/10 the cost, it's a good deal.Note the differences in the entry for the latin coepi:Oxford Desk: coepi, issi coeptum v ir begin (with a parenthetical note to differentiated usage re incipio in classical Latin.)Casssell's: coepio, coepere coepi coeptum (the present tenses ante-class., being replaced by those from incipio; the perfect-stem tenses, supine, etc., are class.; derived from the obs. verb apio, to begin, commence.(I) act., coepi = I have begun or I began; fut. part. coepturus; absol,: dies coepit, Sall.; with acc.: orationem, Tac., coepturos bellum ..... etc., with numerous further examples from classical Latin writers and a following section (2) covering passive usage in the same manner.The general type face is a little bit smaller than the Oxford Desk, but it doesn't matter because the paper quality is so much better that the type is clear and readable. (Some sections of the oxford are much smaller type face still, almost to the point of illegibility.)Specialists with deep pockets will want to go whole hog for the more than $200 Lewis & Short, but for under $20 the Cassell's will be all a normal student needs -- within the classical period. Medieval/church Latin is a different proposition.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ de Gustibus non disputandum est!
*by R***D on June 7, 2021*

This volume is an excellent research tool. Its listing of both English and Latin words is fairly exhaustive. The only additional thing I could wish for would be a section specifically for notable Latin phrases. Highly recommended.
