  • The Latinitas Recens (a dictionary of modern Latin words) is now part of Numen’s core dictionary. You should be able to select it as a source in the source box (bottom right hand corner of the full site). Some interesting features of the Latinitas Recens do not currently work as well as planned, for instance expressions. Expressions (compound terms) are a new feature of Numen that will be incorporated eventually. They will show up when you search on them orbrowse for them. However, expressions will not produce paradigms nor will they be accessible through the word study tool.

    Please let me know if you find any egregious errors! I’m sure there will be a few of the normal misspellings that need correction, and no doubt a few words will be in the wrong place.

  • I recently searched for latinitas recens (a Latin Lexicon of modern terms such as “bicycle” et cetera) and came across a post on alt.language.latin saying that it was missing. The original blog post is here: Saving the Latinitas Recens Lexicon.

    I’m sad to see that it has gone missing from the web. Unfortunately, the Google Cache has also expired. Since this very important resource is in danger of extinction, I took the liberty of mirroring the Latin-English portion of the site (including sigla). I will keep the page posted until the original maintainer (Florus) can re-upload his version.

    Here is the link: Latinitas Recens (Speculum)

    Seeing as how one group-member suggested a one-page version, that’s what this mirror is. Keep in mind it’s about 430K.

    Two notes: I am missing pages 8 and 9 (no longer in cache, not in archive). If you have them, please email them to me so I can include them. Also, I will do the English-Latin as time permits.

    I hope you all find it useful. Feedback is appreciated.

    Update: Thanks go to Rodericius who has generously provided page 9.
