Learn Latin: The Book of the Daily Telegraph QED Series

by PeterJones (Author)

Synopsis

Taken from the QED series of teach-yourself Latin articles published in the Daily Telegraph and the Sunday Telegraph , this book aims to give its readers a basic knowledge of Latin in a short space of time. It covers just enough to give a basic understanding of Latin, and to enable readers to read and understand parts of the Bayeux Tapestry, the love poetry of Catullus, or Saint Jerome's Vulgate . This book also aims to give a deeper understanding of modern European languages, such as English, French, Spanish, and Italian, through an understanding of the ancient language at their heart.
