Description
Originally intended by Professor Frederic M. Wheelock as a sequel to Wheelock's Latin, his classic introductory Latin textbook, Wheelock's Latin Reader, newly revised and updated by Richard A. LaFleur, is the ideal text for any intermediate-level Latin course. You'll find a rich selection of of prose and poetry from a wide range of classical authors, as well as briefer passages from medieval and Late Latin writers, each presented in the Latin in which it was originally written. Useful features include extensive notes; a complete Latin-English vocabulary; maps of ancient Italy, Greece, and the Roman Empire; and numerous photographs illustrating aspects of classical culture, mythology, and history featured in the readings.
The second edition marks the first time this classic book has ever been significantly revised. Featuring expanded notes, and all new photos and maps, Wheelock’s Latin Reader is the ideal intermediate Latin reader to follow the best-selling Wheelock’s Latin and other introductory texts. It includes extensive selections from writers such as Cicero, Livy, Ovid, Pliny, the Vulgate, Bede, and others, along with useful introductions, translations notes, and a full Latin-English
vocabulary. “[Wheelock’s Latin Reader] is a solid companion to [Wheelock’s Latin] and deserves wide circulation as a practical introduction to the humanism of Ancient Rome.”—Classical BulletinYou may also like
