Lorenzo Valla's 'Elegantiae linguae Latinae' (often referred to as 'Elegantiae') is his most famous work, but the specific title 'Elegantiae terminorum' does not appear in standard bibliographies or library catalogs as a distinct, translated work. Extensive searches across multiple scholarly databases (UNESCO Index Translationum, OpenAlex, Google Books, Internet Archive) yielded no evidence of an English translation for a work by this specific title. It is highly likely that 'Elegantiae terminorum' is either a misidentified title, a specific section of his larger 'Elegantiae', or a rare/lost minor work that has never been translated into English.
