The standard full-size dictionary for Classical Latin is Glare's '''Oxford Latin Dictionary''', or OLD. Glare does not give definitions for Christian or Medieval Latin, however. Lewis & Short's dictionary covers Classical Latin as well, but its definitions are not as precise as Glare's. Lewis & Short also has the advantage of giving definitions for Christian and some Medieval Latin words, and is the standard dictionary for the study of Medieval Latin. When Medieval Latin terms are not to be found in Lewis & Short, a number of other dictionaries may be consulted. Niermeyer is the most useful for historical sources; Lanham, though a work in progress and only up to the letter P (?), is widely useful; and Blaise's dictionary (in French) is also widely useful.
