Cicero: A Legamus Transitional Reader introduces students to Cicero's Latin via selections from his Pro Archia. Introductory materials include an overview of the life and works of Cicero, historical context, and bibliography. The authors combine special visual featuresùincluding line alignments based on meaning with the "pass through" methodùto make Cicero's sometimes complicated prose more student-friendly. Appendices on grammar and figures of speech as well as a pull-out vocabulary complete the book's student aids. After finishing Cicero: A Legamus Transitional Reader, students will be prepared to undertake a more complete study of Cicero in an upper level Latin literature or college level course.
Features:
pre-reading materials to help students understand underlying cultural, historical, and literary concepts
review explanations of grammatical and syntactical usage, with practice exercises
"pass through" approach that begins with the main statement and adds clauses with each "pass" thus assisting students in unraveling Cicero's complex sentences
first versions of the Latin text with transitional aids: lines aligned to facilitate comprehension, implied words in parentheses, difficult noun-adjective pairings in different fonts
complete vocabulary and grammatical notes on facing pages
post-reading materials that encourage appreciation of Cicero's style, reflection on what has been read, and making connections to the modern world
final version of each Latin text without transitional aids, but with notes and vocabulary
pull-out vocabulary of frequently used Latin words
four maps and eighteen illustrations that complement the Latin selections and background essays
