Any idea where these could be found? I haven't come across any articles or books published in Latin more recent than the early part of the twentieth century. Is there an index or bibliography somewhere?The vast bulk of scholarship on Latin original texts, is only available in Latin. Most of this material is terra incognita, and professors of Latin have not yet adjusted to the paradigm shift that must necessarily take place. Most spend their time publishing in English, French and German, and reading the work of other scholars in English, French and German. Small surprise, then, that their skills in Latin remain stunted.
For a Classicist to ignore works written in Neo-Latin that discuss the poetics of Virgil, for instance, while happily reading modern critical material in Italian or German, is surpassing strange. Yet, that is our reality - as many of these pre-modern critical texts are unknown, and have sat on bookshelves, in vast repositories, unopened for centuries. Even their titles are often unrecorded in the literature, let alone discussion of their contents.

Scotsman, Latinist, humanist, genius, nutcase.

maybe the rectum rules/regulates the body?Well, I must have said not what I’d intended to. I meant that the knowledge of Latin rectum in no way helps to guess its primary signification in anatomy.
Marcus Aurelius' "To Himself" (that is, the Meditations) is originally written in Greek. Another great language to know.Reading the writings of the wise Roman rulers such as "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius and "The Gallic Wars" by Giaus Julius Caesar in the language that they expressed their thoughts in. The truest version of their work with nothing lost in translation.
