Nonius Marcellus's 'Compendiosa Doctrina' is a massive Latin dictionary and grammatical work from the 4th century. While it is a vital source for fragments of lost early Latin literature, there is no complete English translation of the entire work. Scholars frequently translate individual fragments found within the text for collections like 'Remains of Old Latin', but the work as a whole remains untranslated in English.
