This Latin dictionary is among the best of its kind, reliable, compact and adequate for the needs of all save the specialist. Simpson has produced a book typographically easy to consult, combining elegance with utility. This edition incorporates English idioms and Latin spelling, includes general classical information where appropriate, shows long and short vowels where not immediately apparent, indicates irregular plural forms, cites and quotes ancient classical authors, and suggests paraphrases to express modern English in classical Latin form. Review: very reliable - 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. Review: Latin Dictionary filled with Latin! Who'd a thunk it? Great value, perfect condition. - Purchased used in hardcover. Perfect condition and it's filled with latin words which is very important in its role as a Latin dictionary. I picked Cassell's as it's one of the recommended dictionaries from a number of learning sites. Just beginning a Latin learning path. Good luck. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #32,348 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #34 in Foreign Dictionaries & Thesauruses #39 in Foreign Language Instruction (Books) #46 in Dictionaries (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 618 Reviews | ## Images ![Cassell's Standard Latin Dictionary: A Reliable Classical Reference for English Translation, Idioms, and Ancient Authors - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61oE4qJKgSL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ very reliable *by K***M on February 29, 2024* I have several Latin dictionaries, among which I usually consult Traupman's dictionary.

Great value, perfect condition. *by R***O on September 6, 2025* Purchased used in hardcover. Perfect condition and it's filled with latin words which is very important in its role as a Latin dictionary. I picked Cassell's as it's one of the recommended dictionaries from a number of learning sites. Just beginning a Latin learning path. Good luck. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love Latin? *by S***S on August 15, 2013* My daughter bought this for her Latin course in school. She was very happy when it arrived. She absolutely loves it as its been a great help in making sure her Latin grammar, word forms/tenses...etc are all correct before turning in her homework assignment. True there are not many places on earth where she can use her Latin except for ...during her visit to the Vatican/Vatican City/Rome when her school took the students there for an entire summer semester. Its also been helping her know the root meaning of words in her law and science classes. For those of you with brainiac kiddos who love Latin, this is an excellent helpful book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1767145-cassells-standard-latin-dictionary-a-reliable-classical-reference-for-english](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1767145-cassells-standard-latin-dictionary-a-reliable-classical-reference-for-english) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-06*
