Latin word for "photograph"
Thomas Lotze
photograph. Since the concept is obviously much more recent than the
latin language, I was thinking along the lines of "an image created by
light". However, I wasn't able to find a translation and I wouldn't trust
any half-knowledge I might get from any text on latin grammar to make up a
phrase myself.
Can someone kindly provide me with either a translation of "an image
created by light", or maybe even the common translation of "photograph" if
there is such a thing? Thank you very much.

There are several Latin dictionaries which include latinised equivalents of
modern words and phrases:

http://www.johnpiazza.net/latinlinks.htm
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contemporary_Latin
Generally speaking, these apply the same logic to Latin as to contemporary
languages i.e. if Latin had been spoken all the way to the present day, how
would it have incorporated the term as a loan word...?

The article is about a book. Unfortunately the article isn't even able
to name the title of the book. That is a typical example for journalism. :-(

I've got that book "Lexicon recentis Latinitatis". But i need money so i
will put it on eBay in the next few days.

when I learned that it was only available in German and Italian. Even
us non-Catholic Anglophones could benefit from a translation instead
of having to translate it drop by drop as needed. It would be very
nice just to savour the dictionary.

Well how about that Spanish-to-neoLatin job that B.T. (I think it was)
told us about? It has 1130 pages, compared to the Vatican's trifling 732.

I thoroughly enjoy Mr. Col's work. It is even much better than the
Big V's. He includes so many more idioms and collocations.
Unfortunately, it's still hard for me to curl up with an e-book and
savor its contents. I don't have a kindle yet.

It is Volume I and II (one book). How about 70ￜ? But i think it isn't
worth to ship it to USA, since shipping fee is too expensive. Regards.
