You will find in the following compacted tar archive (74K) a Latin dictionary for ispell:
The archive contains a file of affixes mlatin.aff (version 0.20), a file of vocabulary mlatin.dico, a long explanatory file README.html (actually only in French), the GPL license and the file you read now. This dictionary (files of affixes mlatin.aff and vocabulary mlatin.dico) is GPL free software. Please read this licence carefully before using or redistributing this dictionary.
More precisely, it's a dictionary of the Latin of a Italian mathematician of the Renaissance, Francesco Maurolico, useful to correct the edition of his mathematical work (that's why we call it mlatin): one hundred texts and circa 5000 pages. The vocabulary file contains circa 4800 words. It corrects well texts of this mathematician, will correct probably quite well a mathematical contemporary text, but will correct undoubtedly very badly a classical literary text. It is however relatively easy to adapt it to build, if need so, a more general dictionary, of classical Latin for example.
Full explanations will be find in the page README.html.
