Lewis Charlton Short, Charles Thomas, Andrews Ethan Allen, Freund William (Editors). A Latin Dictionary Founded on Andrews' Edition of Freund's Latin Dictionary

Oxford University Press, 1956. — 2019 p. — ISBN10: 0-19-864201-6.The work referred to as Lewis and Short after the names of its editors, Charlton T. Lewis and Charles Short. It was derived from the 1850 English translation by Ethan Allen Andrews of an earlier Latin-German dictionary, Wörterbuch der Lateinischen Sprache, by the German philologist Wilhelm Freund, in turn based on I.J.G. Scheller’s Latin–German dictionary of 1783. The Andrews translation was partially revised by Freund himself, then by Henry Drisler, and was finally edited by Short and Lewis.This dictionary remains a standard reference work for medievalists, renaissance specialists, and early modernists, as the dictionary covers Late and Medieval Latin, if somewhat inconsistently. Its only real contender is the newer Oxford Latin Dictionary (OLD). However, the OLD is handicapped by its limited scope: anyone interested in Late, Ecclesiastical, Medieval, or Neo-Latin need not apply. Lewis and Short is more comprehensive.
