What Latin Dictionary would you recommend?

[buddhabelly]

We have been studying Latin for two years and still have not purchased a dictionary! A recent assignment in LFC B requires one, and I'm ready to make the plunge. I can't remember which one you all recommended. Help?

Thanks in advance!

I like the Latin & English Dictionary by John Traupman. But Abbeyej linked a cool on-line one: http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/ptext?layout.reflang=la;layout.reflookup=sentio;do c=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0059%3Aentry%3D%2343682

My favorite student dictionary is Cassell's (http://www.amazon.com/Cassells-Latin-Dictionary-Latin-English-English-Latin/dp/0025225804/).

Bought it at Amazon.

HTH!

and I cannot understand why some words appear in one and not the other etc. I picked them both up cheap and usually use both of them in reading.

Thank you(se) so much for your help! The online one is fun, but some exercises actually call for us to page through it. I am one of those geeky people who loves to just page through dictionaries, so I will enjoy Cassell's (and probably Traupman as well).

Your prompt responses are much appreciated.

Gratias tibi ago.
