Saint Augustine's Confessions Book I: Latin Text with Facing Vocabulary and Commentary (Latin Commentaries) - 7601

This intermediate commentary on the Latin text of book one of Augustine's Confessions contains 10 lines of Dr. James O'Donnell's Latin text, to which are appended all words occurring 5 times or less and grammatical notes after the style of other commentators such as Clyde Pharr and Geoffrey Steadman. The commentary also has a running vocabulary of all words occurring 5 times or more at the beginning of the work, as well as an alphabetized version of this list at the end of the work. The purpose of this commentary is to help intermediate students of Latin make the jump from Cicero and Caesar to Augustine's beautiful Latin prose. After memorizing the words in the running vocabulary, the student should be able to read Augustine's Confessions without turning the page or consulting other grammars and dictionaries. Nevertheless, for the student who wants more, references to standard works on grammar and syntax are also supplied.
