Moreover, in the Western world, Latin was a lingua franca, the learned language for scientific and political affairs, for more than a thousand years, being eventually replaced by French in the 18th century and English in the late 19th.

 Etymological Introduction   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Egidio Forcellini
Forcellini collaborated with his master in revising the so-called "Calepinus", the Latin dictionary, in seven languages, of the monk Ambrosius Calepinus.
While engaged in this work, Forcellini is said to have conceived the idea of an entirely new Latin lexicon, the most comprehensive ever compiled.
It was not until three years after Forcellini's death that this great lexicon, on which he had spent nearly forty years of untiring industry, and which is the basis of all the Latin lexicons now in use, was published at Padua in four folio volumes under the title, "Totius Latinitatis Lexicon".

The TLL is the Latin philologist's fundamental tool, providing detailed notes on usage and a wealth of citations, both of Latin texts and of scholarly articles.
The grammar shows that the main section of the article may consist solely of a cross reference, or it may illustrate the meaning and usage of the word by collecting a number of citations together in the "word history" section.
