This reader contains selections from Catullus, designed for students moving from elementary or intermediate Latin into reading the authentic Latin of Catullus. Passages are accompanied by pre-reading materials, grammatical exercises, complete vocabulary, notes designed for reading comprehension, and other reading aids. Introductory materials (including a section on Catullan meters) and illustrations are included. Special Features - pre-reading materials for each passage of Latin, designed to help the student understand the underlying cultural and literary concepts in the Latin passage - short explanations related to the grammatical and syntactical usages that will be found in the passage, accompanied by exercises - the first version of the Latin text with gapped words in parentheses and difficult noun-adjective pairings highlighted by the use of a different font - complete vocabulary and grammatical notes on the page facing the Latin passage. Any vocabulary word found in the passage but not in the notes is found in the pull-out vocabulary at the back of the book - the second version of the Latin text in its unchanged form - literary notes on the page facing the unchanged Latin text - post-reading materials for each passage designed to help the student understand Catullus' style of writing and to allow the student to reflect upon what has been read - the last four Latin passages do not contain any of the transitional aides such as gapped words or the use of fonts.
