Synopsis

Master Latin verse words, made practical for beginners
This English-Latin Gradus offers ready-made Latin equivalents for commonly used English terms, focused on poetry and verse rather than prose. It helps you build a concise, working vocabulary for Latin verse, drawing on familiar writers and classical styles to keep your composing efficient and true to form.

This edition explains how to choose suitable epithets, manage declensions and conjugations, and use word endings in verse. It ties practical guidance to trusted sources, helping learners avoid prosaic phrasing while expanding their poetic options.

• Clear, example‑driven entries that pair English words with Latin equivalents commonly used in poetry.


• Notes on usage, including how to select epithets and handle word forms for verse lines.


• Pointers to classic authors and how their language appears in the gradus.


• Practical guidance for beginners to craft concise, apt phrases for Latin verse.

Ideal for students starting Latin verse work, as well as teachers and creative writers seeking reliable, field-tested word choices for poetic composition.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
