Oxford Latin Dictionary
Oxford University Press, USA | 1983 Year | 2150 Pages | ISBN: 0198642245 | PDF HQ | ~330 MB
A contribution to the Classical Languages Team Project


The largest and most detailed Latin dictionary to date. Scanned in HQ, provided with a page by page first word bookmark list.

Book description from amazon.com:
Fifty years in the making, the Oxford Latin Dictionary is the first Latin-English dictionary based on a fresh reading of original sources. The Dictionary was published in eight fascicles between 1968 and 1982 and is now available in a single bound volume. Features of the Oxford Latin Dictionary BL First Latin-English dictionary composed directly from original sources BL Comprehensive coverage of classical Latin with entries for approximately 40,000 words BL Based on a collection of over one million quotations that illustrate the meaning and use of Latin words from the earliest known instance BL Definitions are in modern English and based on modern lexicographical principles BL Up-to-date with the inclusion of better texts as well as epigraphical material that was previously unavailable The Oxford Latin Dictionary is a comprehensive and authoritative reference work for students, teachers, professionals, and general readers interested in classical languages and literature, ancient history, medieval studies, languages, art history, ancient philosophy, religion, archaeology, law, medicine, and natural science.

A reader's opinion from the same site:

Yes, it is expensive.

But I have found no ancient language dicitonary which can compare to it in terms of organization, clarity and fullness of example sentences. This dictionary has a format almost identical to "The Shorter Oxford ENGLISH Dictionary". In other words, it is organized like the very best of modern dictionaries. The meanings given are very good (like in the Shorter Oxford). I almost never refer to my "Lewis and Short" now that I have this -- there is NO comparison.

@ elsayed5: Both. As you can read in the description (but who reads descriptions nowadays?), it was published in eight fascicles between 1968 and 1982, and then published in one volume again in 1983.

Thanks vidra!

Thanks!
Unfortunately, it's an image-scanned pdf so words cannot be looked up using search functions, and that would explain the big file size.
PS. The Depositfiles PART 6 file was confirmed to be corrupt so Rapidshare PART 6 was needed to extract.

Hi
Can you anybody help me with the PART 6 - I cannot download it

I converted the dictionary posted by Vidrait to DjVu, decreasing its size in this way by more than 200 MB, without any perceptible loss in quality. You can dowload the DjVu files from here:

http://rapidshare.com/files/76951050/Oxford_Latin_Dictionary.part2.rar

I need the following two books:

(1) Greek Grammar ; Herbert Weir Smyth
(2) Liddell-Scott, A Greek-English Lexicon; Oxford University Press, USA; 9 edition (1996) | 2438 pp | ISBN: 0198642261

Unfortunately the Rapidshare links to these books here on AvaxHome are all dead. Please, if anyone has the books, reupload it, or seed it as a torrent. You can message me on: nessuno@myway.com

is it just a raw scan? Jesus Christ, have mercy 330 MB for a book? Why just don't put it through FineReader or other decent OCR and make on e 30MB pdf? Does it have plenty of pictures or what?

Thanks for fixing page order because prior upload disorder was practically unworkable; although OCR search recognizes even fine print, sometimes skips words in bigger print so it is not 100% trustable; just make a test with any page; it may be due to book printing itself; with bookmarks it would be a great tool; to ease handling of the four parts a little I made myself the following guide (numbers without brackets are image numbers, and within brackets are page numbers):
I 1-20, Title page, pages i-xxiii
21 [1] A
242 [222] B
266-500 [246-480] C-Cyllenius

II 1 [481] cylon-Cyzicus
2 [482] D
104 [583] E
185 [664] F
273 [752] G
301 [780] H
333-500 [812-978] I-iudicium
