Textbooks for Latin Subjects

Workbook for Wheelock's Latin, 3rd Edition, Revised (Paperback) [Edition required: 3]

Notes:
Students must have a new, entirely unmarked copy of this workbook for their own personal use.

A Comprehensive Guide to Wheelock's Latin: Newly Revised for Wheelock's 6th Edition [Any edition]

Notes:
Optional: Dr. Grote's extended descriptions and notes on Wheelock's Latin have been out there for many years now, and many students find his clear and thorough explanations a useful supplement to the basic textbook.

Vocabulary Cards and Grammatical Forms Summary for Wheelock's Latin [Any edition]

Notes:
Optional: the real benefits of making vocabulary cards for yourself may be outweighed by the possibility that you simply won't do so. If that's likely, you may want to invest in these.

Wheelock's Latin, Seventh Revised Ed. [Edition required: 7]

Notes:
(Earlier notes relating to the sixth edition are irrelevant now, since everyone should have started with the seventh edition in Latin I.)

Workbook for Wheelock's Latin, 3rd Edition [Edition required: 3]

Notes:
This is the version of the workbook selected to go with the edition with which the student began: most students should already have their own personal copy, with the chapters for this course unmarked.

Augustine: Confessions [Edition required: 1]

Notes:
The text is freely available on the listed website; students do not need to purchase a hard copy of the book unless they want it.

Caesar: Selections from his Commentarii De Bello Gallico [Any edition]

Notes:
Prices on this have fluctuated severely over the last few years. It should be around $45. If it goes skyrocketing from there, let me know via email and we'll come up with some alternative solution. If Amazon is tweaking the prices unreasonably, check into the option directly from the publisher here: http://www.bolchazy.com/Caesar-Selections-from-his-Commentarii-De-Bello-Gallico-P3161.aspx

Syntactical Mechanics [Edition required: 1]

Notes:
This book is also required for Latin III, so continuing students will already have a copy.

The Landmark Julius Caesar: The Complete Works: Gallic War, Civil War, Alexandrian War, African War, and Spanish War [Edition required: 1]

Notes:
This is a magnificent book and a bargain for what it contains. If it's prohibitive, please let me know. I would permit another translation of Caesar's text, but this edition supplies a great deal of supporting information that will make the shape of Caesar's campaigns vastly more accessible. In either case I will be assigning readings from the accompanying web document (which is available freely to all) — which contains about 325 pages of material that wouldn't fit into the book itself.

Allen and Greenough's New Latin Grammar [Any edition]

Notes:
The hardbound copy may be substituted; if money is an issue, one can dispense with this and rely on the online version, which is accessible through the Moodle website. Access to the text in some form, however, is essential for the various grammatical issues that arise.

The Catullan Revolution [Edition required: 1]

Notes:
The older edition will suffice if one can find it used.

Latin Dictionary Founded on Andrew's Edition of Freund's Latin Dictionary [Any edition]

Notes:
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 is old enough that it is also available in many forms in addition to the cumbersome volume from Oxford: the Logeion site online offers its material for free and in very good format.

Oxford Latin Dictionary [Any edition]

Notes:
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.

Other books may be added as arranged with each student.
