Description

This dictionary is an indispensable guide to the study of the Latin Middle Ages.

It records the continuing usage of classical and late Latin in this period (6th-16th centuries), but it presents most fully the medieval developments of the language, drawing on a rich variety of printed and manuscript sources.

Many new formations from other languages are revealed - some of the borrowings recorded in Latin centuries before their appearance in written vernacular sources.
