Product Information

This is a book of short readings that are in genuine but fairly simple Latin, that are interesting in themselves, and that are accompanied by a Vocabulary containing nearly every word used in the text. It also has an Introduction that explains the historical background. The book is directed at intermediate students of Latin-that is, those who have made some progress in the language, but who still find the Roman classics too difficult to read with any fluency. It will help: A-Level students in England; Advanced school students elsewhere; University students; Students in home education; Self-learners; Classicists who want to know more about post-Imperial Latin; Paul the Deacon (c.725-799) is a primary source for many of the most important and dramatic events of the early middle ages in both Italy and the wider Mediterranean World.

For his History of the Lombards, he is justly called the Herodotus of the Middle Ages. Contents include:
