Reviews

[Jack Mitchell]

Fills a unique niche in being a pocket-sized anthology of Latin verse with no translation, context, or apologies, so that you can carry it around and be entertained without any anxiety of influence. Amazing there was once a market for this. Grab it while you can!

[Dũng Dỗ]

Very good. A nice, chronological, concise collection of Latin works.

[Blunt Of Mercia]

Emi uno nummo hunc librum et nuper ardore perlegi.
O ite latinitatis amici! emitite! placebit vobis!
Nam rosae insunt, rosae vetusti temporum
Ac prati aliorum florum. Hic mecum sedi,
Florem floremque accepissem, mundo praetereunte immundo. . .

Ignosce mihi, viator, tibi precor, latinitatem meam impuram; ut scio, non dignus est sermonem appelare— nec umquam poesem— sed emite, rogo iterum, hunc lepidum libellum. Satis est de re. Vale.
