[A]n American ex-military scientist/ computer programmer (WAW) had produced, as a hobby over seven years, a very well-organised Latin to English electronic dictionary with separate tables of stems and inflections that would enable rapid construction of Latin words. The dictionary at that time amounted to 28,000 unique Latin words, and therefore already exceeded all but the most monumental of paper Latin dictionaries for size. The electronic dictionary additionally provided extra information about each Latin stem: in which Area it is used (general, ecclesiastical, legal, military, biological, agricultural, dramatic or poetical, scientific or technological); in which Age it was predominantly used (general, antiquity, classical era, post-classical, medieval, post-medieval, modern); and with what Frequency the stem is cited in conventional dictionaries (from very common to extremely rare).

[I]t was not until the 14th century that John Wycliffe translated the Bible from the Latin Vulgate into English. Wycliffe's followers were called the Lollards. The Church at this time had become corrupt and many of its leaders had become rich and some were not very nice at all.

Large numbers of Latin inscriptions remain on Roman monuments that have survived through the millennia. These were initially collated by the German, Mommsen, in the 19th Century, but are now available electronically. A good source is Frankfurt University (Germany) at http://www.rz.uni-frankfurt.de/~clauss/index-e.html.
