Latin- the language of Virgil and Ovid, but also of
the Latin Mass, Gregorian chant and the Vulgatethe
version of the Bible which informed our culture
for 1000 years. This continuing class for nearbeginners
is based on the textbook The Cambridge
Latin Course, Book 2, but we shall be looking at
other texts and inscriptions. Anyone who has
reached Stage 12 of the Cambridge Latin course,
or whose Latin is a bit rusty are very welcome to
join us this term.

408sp LATIN Intermediate
Thursday 9 meetings 1.30–3.30 pm
Tutor: Rosemary King £67.50, £17
This course is for students who have already done
some Latin- perhaps many years ago. We are
working in a fairly leisurely way through the
Cambridge Latin Course, and expect to be
starting near the beginning of Book IVA, Stage 41
or so. In addition to this, we use the Internet and
other resources to study medieval manuscripts,
old documents, tombstones, and other interesting
materials, some discovered by students. We have
recently been trying to solve the Latin Crosswords
published each Saturday in the Times newspaper.
New students with some knowledge of Latin
are very welcome to join us: we are a very
friendly group.
