Common Latin phrases

Editorial history

08/08/12: WT, created page

Purpose of this page

This page provides a dictionary of common latin phrases taken from mid-C17th High Court of Admiralty documents. For additional help this link is useful if you scroll down it has a list of latin words, it is based on Medieval latin. [ http://archives.nd.edu/latgramm.htm]

We have some classically trained project team members, including David Pashley, who studied classics at Cambridge. They may react with horror at Colin Greenstreet's school boy latin below. He last studied latin in the 3rd form of secondary school in 1972. A great opportunity for the younger project associates who have studied or are studying Latin to add to the Latin pharases below and to correct any obvious mistranscriptions by Colin (who is basically a decent palaeographer, but who recognises he has his limits)
