Leo Stelten has put to use his years of experience teaching Latin
in compiling this concise reference book. The "Dictionary of
Ecclesiastical Latin" includes approximately 17,000 words with the
common meanings of the Latin terms found in church writings.
Entries cover Scripture, Canon Law, the Liturgy, Vatican II, the
early church fathers, and theological terms. This volume will prove
to be an invaluable resource for theological students, as well as
for those seeking to improve their knowledge of ecclesiastical
Latin. An appendix also provides descriptions of ecclesiastical
structures and explains technical terms from ecclesiastical law.
The "Dictionary of Ecclesiastical Latin" has already been widely
praised for its serviceability and indispensability in both
academic and Church settings.
"For seminarians studying for the priesthood, the "Dictionary of
Ecclesiastical Latin" by Leo F. Stelten will be helpful for
examining Vatican documents in the original language, papal
encyclicals and allocutions, publications on church liturgy, and
Cannon Law volumes. This product of years of teaching, now updated,
will be a happy resource in chanceries as well. The format is easy
to follow and the vocabulary of some 17,000 words and phrases is
quite adequate."
" Reverend Joseph F. Downey, S. J., Editorial Director, Loyola
University Press, Chicago, Illinois
"A working knowledge of Latin is important for anyone who wishes
to study the nearly two thousand years of living tradition of the
Catholic Church. It is essential for those who wish to study
seriously the sacred sciences of philosophy, theology, and cannon
law. Father Leo Stelten, drawing upon his long experiences in
teaching Latin tostudents for the priesthood, has developed in his
"Dictionary of Ecclesiastical Latin" a most helpful tool both for
those who are beginning their study of the church's lingua materna,
as well as for those who are working to renew and improve their
knowledge of church Latin."

Tribunal, Vatican City, Rome
