The Lewis & Short Dictionary

A Latin Dictionary. Founded on Andrews’ edition of Freund’s Latin dictionary, revised, enlarged, and in great part rewritten by Charlton T. Lewis, Ph.D., and Charles Short, LL.D. (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1879)

Thanks to The Perseus Project and The National Endowment for the Humanities, we have this 19th Century Latin dictionary in a machine-readable format.

For more on this project, see the discussion of the parallel publication of the LSJ.
