Question
I am looking for "this above all else" in Latin, any help would be greatly appreciated

Answer
Hello,

The phrase "this above all else” can be rendered as follows:
-“Hoc in primis”.

There are however other translations, but they depend on the context where you want to use this expression.

Best regards,
Maria
