Abstract

The article discusses the engagement of English poet A. E. Housman with the Thesaurus Linguae Latinae (TLL) monumental dictionary of Latin. It notes that Housman's decision to direct his publishers to send some of his books to the Thesaurus, the institution supporting TLL, reflects his concern to help TLL promote Latin scholarship. Moreover, Housman also sent letters and books with some of the scholars working at the Thesaurus and continued to read and annotate articles in the lexicon.
