Authentic Latin texts for beginning students

Organized as a companion to introductory Latin study, this collection pairs readings with a gradual progression: it starts with graffiti and moves to longer inscriptions and literary texts. Its 40 chapters correspond to the chapters in Wheelock’s Latin, though the publisher describes it as usable alongside other introductory college or high-school textbooks as well. The materials include inscriptions, proverbs, and texts, supported by photographs, illustrations, maps, comprehension and discussion questions, grammar capsules, vocabulary, and a summary of forms. The combination makes the book a reading resource as well as a collection of reference and practice aids.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Beginning students studying Latin with Wheelock’s Latin
  • Learners using another introductory college or high-school Latin textbook
  • Instructors seeking authentic Latin readings and accompanying practice materials

Book overview

From one of the country's leading Latinists, this reader is the perfect complement to any Latin program, and the first collection of entirely authentic classical Latin texts that beginning students, from the very first day of their introduction to Latin, can read and enjoy.

Beginning with simple graffiti, Scribblers, Sculptors, and Scribes moves toward longer inscriptions and literary texts as students progress. Designed to accompany the bestselling Wheelock's curriculum, its 40 chapters are linked with the 40 chapters of Wheelock's Latin, but the book's readings and design features make it suitable for use alongside any introductory college or high-school Latin textbook. Packed with hundreds of actual Latin inscriptions, proverbs, and texts, this outstanding textbook also includes dozens of photos and illustrations, maps, discussion and comprehension questions, grammar capsules, a Latin-English vocabulary section, a summary of forms, and much more.
