This is substantially an abridgment of the author's' Latin
Dictionary for Schools'. The vocabulary has been extended to
include all words used by Catullus, Tibullus, Propertius, and
Tacitus. On the other hand, space has been saved by the omission of
all detailed references to books and passages, only the name of the
writer being indicated as authority for each word or phrase; and by
limiting the illustrative citations to those which are typical or
peculiarly instructive.
The basic goal of this dictionary is to give the learner a thorough
understanding of how kanji are used in contemporary Japanese by
providing instant access to a wealth of information on the
meanings, readings and compounds for the most frequently used
kanji. Thanks to the author's ground-breaking locator system SKIP
(System of Kanji Indexing by Patterns), the user can locate
characters as quickly and as accurately as in alphabetical
dictionaries. Modern linguistic theory has effectively been
integrated with sophisticated IT to produce a powerful tool that
will benefit beginners, intermediate and advanced students of
Japanese.
