Latin Phrase-Book (Classic Reprint)

Description: This book delves into the richness and complexity of Latin phraseology, offering a comprehensive guide to the language as it was spoken and written in ancient Rome. The author, recognizing that the expanding academic curriculum was limiting the amount of Latin read by students, sought to create a resource that could help them acquire a working knowledge of Latin in a relatively short period. The book is structured around a series of thematic categories, encompassing the natural world, time, the human body, human emotions and behavior, the mind, the arts and sciences, speech and writing, and religion. Each category is then broken down into numerous subtopics, each one accompanied by a selection of carefully chosen Latin phrases. The author's aim is not merely to provide a dictionary of Latin phrases, but to offer a deeper understanding of how Latin was used in a variety of contexts, from everyday conversations to philosophical treatises. The book draws inspiration from the work of other scholars, particularly the German linguist Meissner, whose own phrase book enjoyed great success in Europe. This underscores the importance of Latin phraseology in the history of scholarship, and in the development of European languages and thought. The book serves as a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the intricacies of Latin and its enduring legacy in Western culture.
