Marcus Tullius Cicero(Cicero)
"The writings of Cicero are divided into four distinct groups, according to the way that the Loeb Classical Library has grouped them. Although the Loeb groupings are no doubt done to facilitate publishing his works, this appears to be the best way to divide up the large number of Ciceronian texts. Within each group the works are placed in alphabetical order. The years listed for each of Cicero's works come from the Oxford Companion to Classical Literature, Oxford UP, 1993."

A Bibliographic Guide to Vergil's Aeneid by Shirley Werner
"It would be folly to try to list everything written on or relevant to the Aeneid, and this bibliography does not pretend to do so. Nevertheless, as I contemplate the dangers of thoroughness on the one hand, and arbitrary selectiveness on the other, it seems to me best to steer cautiously closer to the former. Many items still need to be added. My focus is contemporary, but no time limit was imposed."

The VERGILProject
The Vergil Project is a collaborative enterprise dedicated to collecting, creating, and disseminating resources for teaching and research about Vergil. Its main goal is to develop an on-line, interactive hypertext database of all materials that might be of interest to any student of Vergil, from the novice to the professional scholar, from the passionate amateur to the casual browser. The purpose of this resource is to facilitate the study and enjoyment of Vergil's poetry and to make it freely accessible to the widest possible audience.

Please note that this is only a word list offering some possible translations and is no substitute for working closely with a good dictionary. It can nevertheless be quite helpful, particularly if you download it to your own machine, where you can add to it and where your word processor's thesaurus can greatly increase the number of possible English translations."

The present dictionary is an improvisation based on a word-list originally from Lynn H. Nelson of the University of Kansas. You might want to take a look at Lynn's preamble to the word-list, and his written consent to our using it. Besides the Latin word-list, Lynn has also compiled a reference guide to Latin grammar."
