Shakespeare among the Romans

Aestatem autem similem aestimabo te hodie
Tu es formosa magis, et magis temperatus:
Aspera venti commovebo cicaro gemmae Maii,
Et aestas est scriptor locationis habet omnia quoque brevi tempore
Quando calida oculus caeli,
Saepe et color;
Pulchraque declinant a pulchro,
Forte ita flectit iter aut natura;
Aestas, Deciderit sed aeterna,
Nec debes habere aequum est,
Mors illius, tu ne umbra
Översätts in aeterno dum;
Halitus quandiu, aut oculis videre potest,
Dum vivit, et vivificat tibi.

We need to get Lewis and Short (https://www.logos.com/product/16014/lewis-and-shorts-latin-dictionary) over the top—it's currently at ~90%. How else are we going to be able to translate Shakespeare into Latin? Wink

It is hard enough for me to read English on the forums right now. If you want an answer in Latin you will have to wait for New Steps in Latin Collection to ship so I can formulate a coherent answer.

fwiw: I am in for the Lewis and Short Latin Dictionary. It is the best we can get since the Oxford Latin Dictionary got pulled.

This is also most important in completing a proper Latin Klingon dictionary.....

This made me laugh out loud. Thanks

I too am not sure why I would need these titles in Logos. I don't plan to do any latin language work (hebrew and greek yes, latin not so much).

Very important especially older works use tons of latin quotes and assume you are capable of reading it... also a lot of important early fathers works are in Latin only. I am not sure i will ever learn enough Latin to read it, but this dictionary should give me the tools to access it better.

Back in High School, I had one year of Latin before my school canceled the latin program due to lack of interest. I have found that that one year of Latin has been useful countless times - and I keep using it off and on - much more than I expected way back then.

You see, Latin was the language of scholarship for centuries, and because of this, countless works are only available in Latin, or even if in English, quote latin without translation, because they assume that everyone can read a little latin. This is the case in countless fields, but especially in theology (at least for us westerners). We all know that Rome did her major work in Latin until Vatican 2, and while it has been in decline since Vatican 2, Francis tweets in Latin...

I myself am Lutheran. And while we were not afraid to speak the language of the people, Luther wrote countless works in Latin as well as German. In fact, a Luther Scholar (Tim Wengert) pointed out that Luther's theological insights were usually first expressed in Latin before they were taken over into German. And the great works of Lutheran Theology were in Latin throughout the period of Orthodoxy.

From what I can understand, it is similar in Reformed and Arminian Christianity as well. Most standard works were in Latin... That way everyone could read them...

Maybe if we're good little boys and girls we'll get a reverse interlinear Latin Vulgate [:O]
