Second Latin

Preparation for the Reading of Philosophy, Theology and Canon Law

This second-year Latin course supposes the previous study of Latin Grammar by the same authors. It is intended for students who can devote only two years to the study of Latin and who must be prepared to intelligently read Latin textbooks of philosophy, theology and canon law. Therefore the vocabularies, word studies, exercises and connected passages have been selected with this practical purpose in mind. The first half of the book is based on philosophical texts; the second half is drawn from works of theology and from the Code of Canon Law. At the end of the volume is a vocabulary of 3,000 words, which may serve the purpose of a concise dictionary.
