Psalms in Latin Audio

Also of interest on Latinum - a study edition in audio of the Latin Mass, read phrase by phrase in Latin-English-Latin.

Lexicon Januale Comenii

A couple of scans of Comenius' useful Lexicon Januale have now appeared online, at Europeana.

The Lexicon Januale is a student level dictionary, that gives the roots of words. Unusually, Comenius designed it so that the student has to write the entire dictionary out by hand, to form full entries for each word. This was a deliberate tactic.

Here is the Lexicon Januale: one of the only student level Latin-Latin dictionaries ever to be published.

Dictionaries that are Latino-Latinum

There are a few Latino-Latinum dictionaries around, but few 'pocket' ones.

Formulae latinarum locutionum illustriorum. Stephano Doleto Gallo Aurelio has a selection of definitions and phrases.

There are a few other useful dictionaries and lexica - though most are for 'walled gardens' of vocabulary for specific subject areas or a particular corpus of work. Apart from the ones mentioned already, (apologies if some of these have already been noted) I can think of:-



Gradus ad Parnassum - not strictly a dictionary, but it gives synonyms and antonyms, so often enough detail to work out what a word means, assuming you already have a baseline vocabulary.

Hortulus Puerorum

 Lexicon Ciceronianum

Lexicon Technologiae Latinorum Rhetoricae

Eclecta Puerilia

Matthew Raine's 'Eclecta Puerilia'

Matthew Raine's 'Eclecta Puerilia' was published in Newcastle, in 1768.

The book presents itself as a Latin reader for beginners - and it follows a course of training, not untypical of that followed by an eighteenth century schoolboy.

The initial section somewhat mirrors Comenius' Vestibulum of the Latin Language, but is more structured, with an emphasis on simple verbal forms (The present tense, past tense,and imperative).

The second level has longer sentences, followed by a series of proverbs and simple expressions.

Following on from this, the student is introduced to a selection of simple Colloquia, drawn from Corderius.

Subsequent to this, a selection of Latin Fables.

Next in order, comes a section called 'Colloquia Sacra', an extensive section, which appears to be drawn from Castellio's Dialogorum Sacrorum.
