of Contents After a short introduction explaining the rationale
of the dictionary, this volume falls into two parts: first, a
lemmatised alphabetical list of Latin words and their frequency
in a range of Latin authors (details below); and secondly, a
list of the same words in descending order of overall frequency
in the corpus of texts used. (‘Frequency’ is here the number of
occurrences of the word in all its forms.) This new frequency
dictionary of Latin differs in several ways from its
predecessor, produced by Denooz and others thirty years ago (L.
