From the Back Cover:
The history of a nation is told through the story of Abraham, Joseph, Moses, Samson, and many others all the way to Jesus’ birth, preaching, and passion in perfect Latin. Since no student can truly understand and appreciate Western culture without some knowledge of the Bible, it is worthwhile to introduce all students to many of the Judaeo-Christian narratives which make-up a fundamental part of Western tradition and religion. The Epitome Historiae Sacrae (or Summary of Sacred History), a classic work by Charles François Lhomond (1727-1794), which has been in regular use for over two centuries, is here resurrected for the modern student of Latin. Its utility has been tested around the world by generations of students who have benefited from both its overview of Biblical stories and the exemplary model of Latin prose.
About the Author:
With the view of rendering it more acceptable to the modern audience, Llomond’s text is published here with a new and convenient arrangement of its contents, illustrated with beautiful historical paintings, and annotated according to the Ørberg method. Also included are useful appendices of names and timelines. Each section is followed by suitable lessons which foster active production of Latin and test the reader’s comprehension.
The Epitome’s simplicity is well adapted to the early intermediate student. Its interesting narrative is calculated to engage the student’s attention, and its sublime Latinity does not fail to inspire the reader to deeper learning. This beautiful edition, which has been edited according to the Lingua Latina per se Illustrata series, is ideal for students who have completed Familia Romana as it drills and reviews grammar while adding more than 1,300 words to their vocabulary and modeling excellent Latin prose style.
