Helps to Latin Translation at Sight

A practical instructional guide for developing skill in sight-translation of Latin, combining six worked demonstrations of sentence-analysis with a curated set of unseen passages arranged to give a broad outline of Roman republican history. Explanatory notes—largely historical—support harder extracts while the amount of help tapers off through the book, and a group of miscellaneous passages offers stricter practice. Prefatory essays outline the pedagogical aims and methods, and appendices, indices, and textual notes supply reference material and technical guidance for teachers and learners.
