A Latin Reader for Colleges

Comprising selections from Aulus Gellius, Nepos, Caesar, and Phaedrus, this college-level reader serves as a bridge between the beginning Latin student's text and the Orations of Cicero. Substantial notes explain new grammatical constructions and historically situate the people, places, and institutions mentioned in the excerpts. An outline reviews grammar the student should know, using examples taken from, or based upon, the text.

Zusammenfassung

Selections from Aulus Gellius' "Attic Nights," "The Lives" of Nepos, Phaedrus' "Fables" in verse, and some Caesar are carefully aimed to interest and challenge, but not overtax, the college student who is not yet ready for complicated readings in Latin.
