As one who has used this extensively (when I had access to it at HUC),
there is a major caveat beyond the fact that it is in Latin: its _forte_
is Hebrew-Greek parallels, and so will have minimal use outside of the
LXX corpus, and within this corpus, the amount of material outside of
this area is correspondingly smaller.

ps, If you already have it, The Abbott-Smith (sp?) NT Greek lexicon has a
wealth of LXX info included in entries. This was (one of the) first to
include in any systematic way LXX info, and it is especially helpful,
again, in Heb-Gr parallels. If you don't own it, I would recommend you
take a look at it.
