Even after the collapse of the western Roman Empire in 476 AD, Latin continued to be used as a literary language throughout western and central Europe. An enormous quantity of medieval Latin literature was produced in a variety of different styles ranging from the scholarly works of Irish and Anglo-Saxon writers to simple tales and sermons for a wider audience.

Lynn Nelson produced this wordlist to help students read Medieval Latin. He warns that it is not an exhaustive list, and it is only a list, not a dictionary. The gender and declension of nouns is not provided nor is the conjugation of verbs. It contains fewer than 6000 words. (For an expanded version of this list, with about 8000 words, go to his website at the University of Kansas.) Type in a Latin phrase or word. Press the button (or Enter).
