Dictionary of Latin Synonyms

Distinguishing shades of differences between synonyms is essential if one is to write Latin effectively and so, when reading, to understand the author's thought and intent. This dictionary meets those needs. For instance, synonyms such as "mare," "altum," "fretum," "pontus," "aequor," "pelagus" and "salum" all occur as "sea" in the "Aeneid," but it is only with the aid of this dictionary that the differences in connotation and level of usage can be understood.Ramshorn, Lewis is the author of 'Dictionary of Latin Synonyms' with ISBN 9781898855507 and ISBN 1898855501.
