DESCRIPTION:
. From the Back Cover 'Aeneas to Augustus' is a beginning Latin reader for college students
Prose (Part I) and poetry (Part II)--each Part a term's work with a full historic span--may be alternated during a year's course without losing continuity. Roman history in Latin readings sustained by English prefaces and generous annotation, Aeneas to Augustus is paper-bound and lithographed from typescript while practice tests its effectiveness. Latin readings approximate a class hour's needs; each Part forms a sequence of graduated complexity; a vocabulary is included; and literary and linguistic annotations will interest both beginning and advanced students.

A Customer said Florilegium praeclarissimum. This is not just a great Latin reader, it's one of the best anthologies I've seen in any language. Actually, it's two readers in one: the first half amounts to a digest of Roman history down to Augustus, based entirely on original texts, while the second offers a literary history of the same period, mixing prose and verse. Both halves proceed at approximately the same pace, beginning with very simple Latin and ending with selections of moderate to advanced difficulty. Passages average a page long, or just long enough to fill a single period of class discussion. The notes are amazingly good. Besides clarifying . best latin reader For students who have absorbed basic grammar, this text is an outstanding basic reader. The early passages are simple enough to read with pleasure. The vocabulary is thorough but the strength of the book is in the notes. Every grammatical point is carefully explained so each passage is packed with painless instruction. The passages chronicle the history of the Roman republic. A better bridge between the inevitable conjugations and declensions and reading fluency is impossible to imagine..
