Synopsis

Master Latin grammar with clear rules and practical guidance for reading classical texts.

This edition of Grammar of the Latin Language offers focused explanations of core topics you’ll encounter in Latin prose and poetry. It walks through how the genitive expresses subject and object, how dative constructions work with common verbs, and how meanings shift with prepositions and context. It also includes notes on abbreviations, usage in manuscripts, and how numbers, weights, and measures were handled in ancient sources. The result is a practical reference that helps you understand Latin as it appears in real texts.

  • Genitive case: subjective vs. objective meanings and how context clarifies interpretation
  • Dative constructions with esse, dare, and related verbs, plus common usages
  • Abbreviations, manuscript conventions, and how to navigate early editions
  • Roman weights, coins, and measures, with cross-references to Greek systems
Ideal for readers of Latin grammar, students preparing for exams, and anyone seeking a thorough, example-driven reference.
