NuBerea Lewis & Short Latin Dictionary
The complete Lewis & Short A Latin Dictionary (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1879), extracted from the Perseus Digital Library's TEI XML digitization. It provides headword-level lexical entries — full English definitions, part-of-speech tags, inflection patterns, and short glosses — covering Classical and Late Latin vocabulary, and serves as a lexical reference layer for lemmatized Latin texts (Vulgate, patristic and scholastic corpora) within the NuBerea corpus estate.
Lewis & Short remains the standard large-scale Latin-English dictionary for scholarly
work spanning both classical and ecclesiastical Latin. The full technical specification
(schemas, join contracts, provenance) is available in the gated SPEC.md alongside
this card.
