The Oxford Latin Dictionary (OLD), revised second edition 2012

I am having trouble finding a Latin dictionary in Accordance, as I can only find Lewis and Short.

I would very much like you to consider this.

 

Best regards.

This is definitely an authoritative dictionary of Classical Latin, but it stops at 200 AD. So it is not ideal for the Christian Latin found in Accordance modules like the Vulgate, apocryphal Gospels, Aquinas's Summa theologica, or the Catechism of the Catholic Church. For those Lewis and Short is actually a fairly good option, and sometimes the best. That's not to say the OLD won't be useful for more modern translations of common words, but there will be words and word meanings in these later works that aren't in the OLD.
