Description
Gildersleeve's Latin Grammar has been a trusted companion for students and teachers of Latin since 1867. Written by a distinguished professor with six decades of teaching experience, this comprehensive guide offers a clear and thorough treatment of grammar and usage.
The book is divided into three main sections: etymology, syntax, and prosody. The first section explores the inflections of nouns and adjectives, as well as verb conjugation and word formation. The second section delves into the arrangement of words and clauses in Latin sentences, while the third section examines the conventions of Latin verse.
A helpful index is included, featuring information on everyday Roman life such as the calendar, weights and measures, money, and names. This volume is an indispensable resource for both classroom and independent study, and no Latin reference collection would be complete without it.
