PRINTER TO THE UNIVERSITY
 PUBLISHER'S NOTE

I N May 1931 the Delegates of the Press instructed their officers to investigate the possi-
bility of preparing an entirely new Latin Dictionary. Some eighteen months later draft
plans were approved for the compilation of a dictionary independent alike of Lewis &
Short on the one hand and of the Thesaurus Linguae Latinae on the other, which would
treat classical Latin from its beginnings to the end of the second century A.D., and which
was to be approximately one-third longer than Lewis & Short; the work was to be carried
out by a staff directly responsible to the Delegates. Professor A. Souter of the University
of Aberdeen was appointed Editor, and Mr. J. M. Wyllie was seconded from the Oxford
English Dictionary to the new venture as Assistant Editor.* It was then estimated that
such a dictionary would take twelve years to prepare.
Full-time work began in the autumn of 1933. Quotations, ultimately numbering well
over a million, were collected partly by the staff in Oxford, and partly by some fifty
outside volunteers working closely with the Oxford staff. A start was made on editorial
work, but by 1939 it was clear that progress, whether measured in terms of quality or
quantity, was unsatisfactory. In the same year Professor Souter retired from the editorship,
and Dr. Cyril Bailey, a Delegate of the Press, and Mr. Wyllie were appointed co-editors,
with Dr. Bailey as the senior.
Credit for the scheme of the dictionary and organization of the work in its early years
is due principally to Mr. Wyllie. With the outbreak of war, work on the Dictionary inevi-
tably slowed down, and as members of the staff went off on war service it was virtually
suspended, though a skeleton staff under Dr. Bailey kept the project alive. On Mr. Wyllie's
return work was resumed more actively, and the team was further strengthened by the
appointment of Mr. John Chadwick in July 1946. In March 1949 Mr. Wyllie was appointed
sole Editor, and at the same time steps were taken to form an academic advisory committee.
Professor W. M. Edwards joined the staff in 1950 as reader and critic; Mr. Chadwick left
to take an academic post at Cambridge in 1952 and was replaced by Mr. (later Professor)
C. L. Howard.
Mr. Wyllie'S editorship terminated in April 1954, and Mr. P. G. W. Glare, who had
joined the team in 1950, became Acting Editor. A fresh study of the situation in this year
showed that a thorough revision of most of the material, including what had been hitherto
thought approximately ready for the Printer, would be necessary before printing could
begin, and that the final work would substantially exceed the limits laid down. The Dele-
gates decided that efforts must be made to complete the Dictionary on the existing plan,
though they authorized a further increase in length. In the autumn of 1955 Mr. Glare was
appointed Editor, with an enlarged team that included Mr. R. H. Barrow and Mr. G. E.
Turton (both of whom had joined in 1954), and Mr. R. C. Palmer (from 1957), and with
occasional help from Mr. Chadwick in Cambridge. Since that date progress has been con-
sistent and smooth, and the Delegates' confidence in the undertaking is such that publica-
tion by fascicle has been sanctioned. The work will be completed in eight fascicles, and it
is hoped to publish one every two years.

The Oxford Latin Dictionary is based on an entirely fresh reading of the Latin sources.
It follows, generally speaking, the principles of the Oxford English Dictionary, and its
formal layout of articles is similar. Within each section or sub-section, quotations are
arranged in chronological order, the first example showing, where practicable, the earliest

known instance of that particular sense or usage. Accidents of transmission and the
concentration of much of the available material within a very short space of time have,
however, made it difficult to trace the history of many words; in consequence, not too
much reliance should be placed on chronology in the arrangement of senses.
The later limit. of the period covered by this dictionary is necessarily imprecise. In
practice it means that most of the jurists quoted in Justinian's Digest have been included,
although they run over into the third century, while patristic writings from the last years
of the second century have not been drawn upon. (A proposal that the Dictionary should
be extended to include Christian Latin had been finally rejected in I9Sr.) A further com-
plication is that there are many texts of uncertain date whose inclusion or rejection must
be arbitrary. But within these limits an attempt has been made to treat thoroughly all
known words from any source, literary or non-literary. In addition, proper names have
been included where their intrinsic importance appears to warrant it, or where their in-
clusion was thought to help in the understanding of literary texts. Only brief etymological
notes have been given; readers should refer to the standard etymological dictionaries for
further information. The inclusion of articles on the principal suffixes used in word-formation
is an innovation in Latin lexicography.

IV. SIGNS AND OTHER CONVENTIONS

indicates an omitted part of a quotation.
indicates a subdivision within a section as specified in a parenthesis immediately following, 0]'
corresponding to a semicolon in the definition. Also, when spaced, it indicates a change of speaker
in passages of dialogue.
represents a fixed (unchangeable) portion of a word throughout an article. It has no etymological
significance. In other cases a hyphen indicates a detached part of a word.
* indicates a hypothetical word, or a word no longer extant.
< indicates a root form.
[ ] enclose etymological remarks.
[ J enclose author's name in cases of doubtful ascription.
< > enclose restored portions of text. (Supplements to abbreviations are shown by ordinary parcn-
thesis.)
Small capitals are used in two ways: (i) for printing inscriptions, (ii) as a form of cross-reference,
indicating that further information will be found under the word so printed.
Vowel quantities. Normally only long vowels in a metrically indeterminate position are marked
(e.g. auditus, aue). Final 'a's, though frequently scanned short in Silver Latin, are regularly given their
original value.
Main senses indicated by numbers may be followed by one or more subsections; these are intro-
duced by letters thus: 1 .. b .. c, etc. Some senses consist of two or more equally important elements and
in these the letter a also is employed, e.g. 2a . . b, etc.
Alternative spellings, declensions, etc. are sometimes indicated by Greek letters. Again, equally
important forms are shown by u, 13, y, etc., minor variants by 13, y, etc.

V. ORTHOGRAPHY
Consonantal and vocalic 'i' and 'u' respectively are not distinguished. Where assimilation of con-
sonants takes place in a compound word, the more common form, as printed in the editions, is normally
used for the lemma. For example, compounds of ad- and p- appear under adn-. while compounds of ad-
and n-, in which assimilation is not common, appear under adn-. General cross-references arc provided
thus: adp-: see APP-; ann-: for cpds. of ad- see ADN-.

VI. NOTE ON SUFFIXES

The articles on suffixes are not intended as a complete historical account of all Latin formations;
they are no more than an ip.dication of the principal elements regarded from a synchronistic point of
view. One of the most characteristic features of Latin suffixes is their growth by misdivision: for in-
stance, the elementary suffix -nus gives rise to a group of secondary suffixes -anus, -inus, -ernus, -tinus.
All such, if sufficiently common, are listed separately; where there may be doubt about the correct
allocation, words are treated as containing the more specific, or longer, form of the suffix (e.g. arcanus
is analysed as ARCA+-ANUS, even though historically a more correct analysis might be +-NVS). It is
in many cases impossible to determine the historical facts, since in the classical period -anus was
clearly felt as a living suffix, whereas -nus was no longer employed in new formations. Some apparent
discrepancies in the analysis of suffixes will be explained in the articles in question: thus the analysis
of defensio as DEFENDO+-TIO depends upon the historical fact that two dental sounds in contact
developed into a sibilant. The examples quoted in the articles on suffixes are only a small selection.
