As the world’s most authoritative dictionary of Classical Latin, the monumental, two-volume Oxford Latin Dictionary offers unsurpassed coverage of the language of Rome from its beginnings until AD 200. More than half a century in the making and originally published as a series of fascicles in 1968, a single-volume reference work in 1982, and now this indispensable resource is available in a revised and freshly redesigned two-volume second edition. In 2012, a second edition of the dictionary was published in two volumes (the binding of the 1982 single-volume edition has a tendency to fall apart under the paper's weight); it removes some English translations now considered to be archaic, and presents the material in a clearer fashion using the Arno typeface.

The Oxford Latin Dictionary (or OLD) is the standard English lexicon of Classical Latin, compiled from sources written before AD 200. Begun in 1933, it was published in fascicles between 1968 and 1982; a lightly revised second edition was released in 2012.

Consonantal and vocalic i and u respectively are not distinguished. Where assimilation of consonants takes place in a compound word, the more common form, as printed in the editions, is normally used for the lemma. For example, compounds of ad-and p-appear under app-, while compounds of ad-and n-, in which assimilation is not common, appear under adn-. The Greek Comedy module includes the Oxford Classical Texts of Menander and Aristophanes, alongside in-depth commentaries such as Dover’s Frogs, and more. Liddell & Scott's Greek-English Lexicon is the most comprehensive and up-to-date ancient Greek dictionary in the world. Used by every student of ancient Greek in the English-speaking world, the dictionary covers every surviving ancient Greek author and text discovered up to 1940, from the Pre-Classical Greek of Homer and Hesiod to Classical Greek to the Hellenistic Period, including the Greek Old and New Testaments. This monumental work is now available with a brand new Revised Supplement. Representing the culmination of thirteen years' work, the new Supplement is a complete replacement of the 1968 Supplement. Nearly twice the size of the 1968 edition, with over 20,000 entries, it adds to the dictionary words and forms from papyri and inscriptions discovered between 1940 and the 1990s as well as a host of other revisions, updatings, and corrections to the main dictionary. Linear B forms are shown within entries for the first time, and the Revised Supplement gives the dictionary a date-range from 1200 BC to 600 AD. It is fully cross-referenced to the main text, but additions have been designed to be easily used without constant reference to the main text. Newly commissioned supplementary material including an Introduction by Dr Christopher Stray, and a new bibliographyContaining Oxford Classical Texts online for the first time, including Heyworth’s Propertius, Tarrant’s Metamorphoses, and Zimmerman’s Apuleius; plus detailed commentaries such as Cornell’s Fragments of the Roman Historians and Fowler on Lucretius; along with translations from the Oxford World’s Classics series. The collection is set to grow into a massive virtual library, ultimately including the entirety of Oxford’s distinguished list of authoritative scholarly editions, from the Oxford Classical Texts to the Romantic poets, and from medieval Latin chronicles to the twentieth century. Oxford University Press is also delighted to announce a series of licensing agreements with several leading academic publishers, allowing us to include more of the best scholarly content on OSEO.
