A Companion to Roma Aeterna: Based on Hans Orberg's Instructions, with Latin-English Vocabulary

Description

A sequel to her widely used "A Companion to Familia Romana" (now in its second edition), Jeanne Marie Neumann's "A Companion to Roma Aeterna" offers a running commentary, in English, of the Latin grammar covered in Hans H Orberg's "Roma Aeterna", and includes the complete text of the Orberg ancillaries Grammatica Latina and Latin -- English Vocabulary II. It also serves as a substitute for Orberg's Instructions, on which it is based. Though designed especially for those approaching Roma Aeterna at an accelerated pace, this volume will be useful to anyone seeking an explicit exposition of that volume's implicitly presented grammar. In addition to many revisions of the text, the work also includes new units on cultural context, tied to the narrative content of the chapter.

Hans Henning orberg (1920--2010) received his MA in English, French, and Latin from the University of Copenhagen in 1946. He taught at various Danish high schools until 1963 and at the Grenaa Gymnasium until 1988. From 1953 to 1961 he served on the staff of the Nature Method Institute, Copenhagen. He is the author of the Latin course "Lingua Latina secundum naturae rationem explicata" (1955--56); the course was revised in 1990--91, with a number of supplements, under the title "Lingua Latina per se illustrata." His books were published by Domus Latina, a publishing house he founded in Denmark, and are distributed in the English speaking world by Focus Publishing.

"Jeanne Marie Neumanns A Companion to Roma Aeterna provides students, instructors, and homeschoolers with a treasure trove of learning that will enable them to fully benefit from Orbergs absurdly underused Roma Aeterna." -- James Dobreff, Department of Classics & Religious Studies, UMass Boston
