9781330657980: Exercises in Latin Prose Composition

Synopsis

This book is a substantial collection of Latin prose exercises compiled by the esteemed Professor of Humanity at the University of Glasgow, George G. Ramsay. Targeted at university undergraduates, this book is divided into four parts of progressive difficulty and includes passages of continuous Latin prose for translation practice. The initial stages of the book introduce students to the fundamentals of Latin syntax and gradually guide them towards more complex sentence structures and vocabulary. The guiding principle throughout these exercises is to present real and varied Latin to the students from the very start to improve their proficiency in the language. This book has been revered by scholars since its inception in the late 19th century and continues to be an indispensable tool for aspiring Latinists.
