Lexicon Recentis Latinitatis
The Lexicon Recentis Latinitatis is a Neo-Latin dictionary providing Latin translations of modern words, published by Vatican scholars since 1992.[1]
Originally issued solely for papal texts, it has gradually become a global reference for translating liturgical textbooks and church documents.[1]
The dictionary was issued by the Latinitas Foundation until it was superseded by the Pontifical Academy for Latin in 2012,[2] with the latest printing dating from 2020.[3]
