Have you ever tried to read an English translation of a Russian-Latin dictionary?
It's a pleasure. e.g. the first two sentences of the introduction:
'This glossary certainly does not claim to completeness and comprehensiveness. Its purpose - to clarify the terms and especially their use-of.'
Also, let me congratulate Google Translate for introducing the word 'platonistskoy' into the English language. Bonus question (100 points): Who was the first person to use the word 'neologism'?
The whole thing is here.

Collingwood?
Or Eliot maybe.
OK, I dunno, so a safe guess:
Augustine?
(pop quiz: which of these was I not serious about?)
