This program was designed as an on-line supplement to your classroom study of intermediate-level Latin. Available on this website you will find twelve texts by four authors. You will be assisted in your translation by a glossary when you click on any Latin word. Every inflected word in the texts has been parsed for you. Each new frame of Latin is accompanied by a Magister or Magistra who makes helpful observations about the text and culture and questions your understanding of the passage in the manner of an actual teacher. You may read, download and print each Latin text in its entirety in the translation section of the program. Once you have completed your translation, you may send your work electronically to your professor for grading.  

The program has other valuable features: a Comment or Question box for sending email to your professor; a Resources section where additional Latin aids on the net are linked, such as a searchable dictionary, a syntax file, explanation of scansion and rhetorical devices, and a list of classical sites which may prove helpful to you in using the program.

This program was demonstrated by Professors Minaz Fazal and Ann Raia at the CAAS/NJCA Spring Meeting at Princeton University, on April 29, 2000; the webpage for "Old Wine in a New Bottle: Latin Via the 'Net" may be found here.

This program has been evaluated by Professor James Ruebel for the Bryn Mawr Electronic Resources Review. To read his assessment, click here.
