  • Number of places: 5
  • Start date: 09 October 2024
  • Description:

    A continuation course aimed at providing those who have studied Book Five of the Cambridge Latin Course and beyond with the opportunity to do more Latin together. We will read any of the examples from Roman writers in Amor et Amicitia not already studied and then go on to read, translate and discuss examples from a wide range of Roman writers from both the 'Golden' and 'Silver' Ages of Latin literature (writers such as Cicero, Lucretius, Catullus, Livy, Virgil, Ovid, Pliny, Juvenal, Tacitus, Suetonius) and perhaps, very occasionally, some Mediaeval Latin. After Amor et Amicitia (Patricia Bell) [CUP, ISBN 978-0-521-37736-2], the tutor will provide selections from writers (with vocabulary help and notes) by email each week. A small Latin dictionary or access to on-line vocabulary help may be useful. New members will be most welcome to join the group but should have some ability in Latin to about GCSE level.
