Best lexicon to study the Vulgate?
Comments

Not quite what you're wanting.
- Lewis and Short (L&S) extends from the classical into the medieval and is in-depth
- Oxford Latin only deals in classical
- Dictionary of the Vulgate is primarily just glosses, and NT based
- Dictionary of Ecclesiastical Latin combines the latin text with the latin Fathers
If you're familiar with Jerome, especially as regards the hebrew, L&S is probably best (in Logos). But I also like to review the Ecclesiastical volume.

Thanks! I suppose there isn't an equivalent resource like BDAG but I'll check those out. What is Jerome's L&S? What about the Analytical Lexicon of the Vulgate? Are you familiar with it?

The Analytical Lexicon lists latin forms, along with glosses, so, it's handy for an untagged latin Vulgate.
My reference to Jerome is the issue of latin, as used daily (vernacular) vs latin in a religious setting (eg hebrew translating). Your BDAG greek deals in both; the Logos latin lexicons just barely.
