Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book compiles around 1000 Latin quotations ranging from those of the classical period through medieval and into the Renaissance. The collection includes the original Latin texts, their English translations, and the context and circumstances in which the quotations were written. Many of the quotations are familiar to us today and have passed into everyday usage, such as 'Alea iacta est' (the die is cast), while others, although perhaps less well known, are equally compelling and insightful. Some quotations relate to political events and the lives of emperors and popes, many others deal with timeless human concerns: love, war, friendship, and death. There is philosophy, satire, and poetry, and the collection is rich in its variety. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330709566_0
