LATIN PROSE COMPOSITION AND LIVY

Birgitta Hoffmann

In the Spring we will continue to translate Livy, Ab urbe condita Book 1 (You can find the text online on the Perseus database, but if you prefer text with commentary we suggest the Bloomsbury edition.
We will translate and discuss the text as well as alternating with exercises of translating English into Latin focusing on sentence structure and subclauses with and without subjunctive.

For the grammar exercises and English into Latin translations, we are using Andrew Leigh’s Latin Prose Composition.
Other learning materials will be provided, but a Latin/English dictionary will be useful but can be found online.

Newcomers are always welcome but should ensure that they are familiar with Latin Grammar and vocabulary at roughly A-level or beyond, this course also does Prose composition exercises (translations from English into Latin), feel free to ask to come for a trial session if you are unsure.
