Course Description
Academic Year 2017-2018 • Grade 10 and above • Latin Sequence
For reference only; see current year course listing for course availability and details.Latin V (Latin Literature)
The course follows the College Board's former curriculum definition for the Latin Literature course, using Catullus and Horace. (Catullus was required, Horace was selected from a list of options.) It is hence an introduction to Latin Lyric, emphasizing both linguistic and literary properties of the work. We will discuss the artistic and metrical problems, issues of textual transmission, and interpretive scholarship.
Note: This course follows the College Board's former AP Latin Literature Curriculum. There is no longer an exam offered in the field, but the lineup was a rich and rewarding one, and we will continue to provide it while there is demand for it. It provides very good background for intermediate to advanced level work in college Latin courses.

Prerequisites
Latin III or equivalent. This course may be taken either before or after Latin IV, though following the numerical sequence will probably afford the smoothest path.
Recommended background
Latin IV is recommended; some familiarity with other Latin literature is highly encouraged. Western Literature to Dante will prove helpful in providing historical and literary context, but is not required.
Textbooks and Materials
This item is required:
Allen and Greenough's New Latin Grammar , Authors: J. B. Greenough, G. L. Kittredge, A. A. Howard, Benj. L. D'Ooge, Anne MahoneyISBN: 1585100277

This item is required:
Horace: Selected Odes and Satire , Authors: Q. Horatius Flaccus, Ronnie AnconaISBN: 0865166080
Best sources: Scholars Online Bookstore
This item is required:
Writing Passion: A Catullus Reader , Authors: C. Valerius Catullus, Ronnie AnconaISBN: 0865164827
Best sources: Scholars Online Bookstore
This item is recommended but not required and its use is optional:
Collins Gem Latin Dictionary : Second Edition , Authors: D. A. KiddISBN: 000470763X
Best sources: Scholars Online Bookstore
Other information: Some satisfactory Latin dictionary is required. This is probably the cheapest for the coverage it provides. It will not replace the larger research dictionaries, but at the same time it is only a fraction of the price.
This item is recommended but not required and its use is optional:
Latin Dictionary Founded on Andrew's Edition of Freund's Latin Dictionary , Authors: Charlton T. Lewis, Charles Short, William FreundISBN: 0198642016
Best sources: Scholars Online Bookstore
Other information: This is one of the larger (and more expensive) dictionaries available for serious Latinists. Unlike the larger and more recent Oxford Latin Dictionary, its range extends up to about 600 A. D., and so is more useful for those interested in Mediaeval Latin. Definitely not required, though some suitable dictionary is required.
This item is recommended but not required and its use is optional:
Oxford Latin Dictionary , Authors: P. G. W. GlareISBN: 0198642245
Best sources: Scholars Online Bookstore
Other information: Emphatically not required, this is probably the most comprehensive Classical Latin dictionary avaiable in English today; it is also the most expensive. Its coverage does not extend much beyond A.D. 200, however, and so it is probably not as useful as Lewis and Short for those who want to pursue later Latin.
