Il Penguin Latin Dictionary è un nuovissimo dizionario completo che include latino-inglese, inglese-latino, note di grammatica e pronuncia, oltre al contesto storico di questa lingua classica. La sezione latino-inglese è stata ampiamente studiata e progettata per soddisfare le esigenze specifiche di studenti e professionisti di oggi. Vivat crescat floreat!
