The Dictionary of Medieval Latin in Czech Lands registers and explains the vocabulary of Medieval Latin as used in Czech lands since ca. 1000 CE to 1500 CE. It is based on ca. 800.000 excerpt sheets, drawn from literary, scholarly, and administrative texts. It takes into account not only published sources, but also the manuscript texts (esp. those containing philosophical, theological and scientific treatises, vocabularies, and administrative documents) that still remain unpublished. It also captures and explains the vocabulary of the late Middle Ages, not included in most similar dictionaries. It provides thorough and sufficiently informative data about the wide range and heterogeneity of means of expression to be found in Medieval Latin. It captures all phonological, morphological, syntactical, stylistic, prosodic and semantic divergences of Medieval Latin vocabulary inherited from the ancient era as compared with classical norms. It also provides an exhaustive analysis of newly‑emerged Medieval Latin words. It is an indispensable tool for medievalists from various fields, especially those who focus on Central Europe.

The Dictionary is a collaborative effort of generations of scholars at the Centre for Classical Studies at the Institute of Philosophy, Czech Academy of Sciences.
