Dizionario di Abbreviature latine ed italiane [Dictionary of Latin and Italian Abbreviations], seventh edition, by Adriano Cappelli

The Dizionario di Abbreviature latine ed italiane [Dictionary of Latin and Italian Abbreviations] by Adriano Cappelli can be a valuable resource for your research, most especially when translating Latin parish records.

The seventh edition of this manual offers more to the eye than anticipated. Included are nine foldout documents on which to practice interpreting and translating.




The book's explanations are in Italian, except in the Latin abbreviations section. The dictionary shows the abbreviations in paleographical examples, then in typographical form, and ends with the full word it is trying to indicate.

The book can be purchase on Amazon.com or Amazon.it.
