Reader Reviews:
Excellent introduction (0/0 people found this helpful)
This follows the format of the Jones/Sidwell "Reading Latin" study course. Here Sidwell provides selections from a very wide cross-section of Medieval Latin writers, with each extract introduced and then followed by very detailed notes to aid translation. The differences between Medieval and Classical Latin syntax are also enumerated.
I'd suggest that Beeson's older "A Primer of Medieval Latin" is the more entertaining book, as it focusses more on narrative stories; but Sidwell's is probably more wide-ranging as well as packed with much more material to help the student. Both books are essential for any Latinist wanting to reach beyond the school curriculum of Classical authors.
