First Complete Translation
Only partial translations or excerpts exist. This is the first complete English translation.
Nonius Marcellus's 'Compendiosa Doctrina' is a massive Latin dictionary and grammatical work. While it is a vital source for fragments of early Latin literature, no complete English translation of the entire work exists. Scholarly interest has historically focused on the fragments it preserves (often translated in collections like 'Remains of Old Latin'), but the dictionary itself remains untranslated in its entirety. The work by W.M. Lindsay found in the search is a scholarly edition of the Latin text, not an English translation.
