An Answer Key to a Primer of Ecclesiastical Latin: A Supplement to the Text by John F. Collins

By John R. Dunlap

This long-awaited volume provides an answer key to the drills and exercises contained in each of the units of John F. Collins's bestselling A Primer of Ecclesiastical Latin. Written for those charged with the responsibility of teaching the Latin of the church, the primer aims to give the student-within one year of study-the ability to read ecclesiastical Latin. Thirty-five instructional units provide the grammar and vocabulary, and supplemental readings offer a survey of church Latin from the fourth century to the Middle Ages. Included is the Latin of Jerome's Bible, of canon law, of the liturgy and papal bulls, of scholastic philosophers, and of the Ambrosian hymns.

Excellent Book, Fast Service

We need more books like this one that provide instruction in Ecclesiastical/Medieval Latin. The answer key is a godsend! Wouldn't it be nice to have a textbook on Medieval Latin Composition along the lines of Bradley's Arnold with an answer key? Perhaps a scholar will write one!

It's about time.

I had been struggling with Collins' Primer of Ecclesiastical Latin. I completed all the exercises and drills but had no idea if my answers were correct. Dunlap's book removes all doubt and I can progress knowing that I'm headed in the right direction. Now I believe that I am truly learning and it is about time.

Perfect for self-study

John Dunlap has filled a void Latin students have felt for years: an approved answer key to accompany the standard text of ecclesiastical Latin. It's a terrific little book, especially for those interested in self-study. Dunlap wastes no space and provides crisp answers and responses to Professor Collins' drills.

Very useful

In addition to lists of answers by chapter, this book contains some minor errata for Collins' text. Accompanying many answers are helpful explanations and references to concepts in Collins with page numbers.

About time!
