Vol. 1: Latin reader

Latin is still a crucial language for all scholars of diachronic or synchronic linguistics. But more and more students have to learn Latin in a crowded crash-course at the university, and so there is a certain need for anthologies which enable students to intensify and deepen their grammatical knowledges and at the same time inform them about the history of Latin literature. Beginning with Plautus and ending with Apicius the reader tries to show the wealth of Latin texts and to encourage students to improve their knowledge.

„Die wohldurchdachte Konzeption sowie die im Allgemeinen sehr sorgfältige Darstellung machen die Anthologie zu einem gut verwendbaren Arbeitsinstrument.“
