A Latine Dictionary In Four Parts

Linguae Latinae Liber Dictionarius Quadripartitus = A Latine Dictionary In Four Parts

by Adam Littleton

Adam Littleton was the most reputable Latin lexicographer in 17th century England. His 1678 edition of his A Latine Dictionary in Four Parts was succeeded by an even more reputably considered improved edition published at Cambridge in 1693. For the purposes of the later published edition, the editors utilized “a manuscript collection of authorities from Roman authors, in three volumes, folio, by John Milton.”
