Taken from the "QED" series of teach-yourself Latin articles published
in the Daily Telegraph and the Sunday Telegraph, this book provides
a basic knowledge of Latin in a short space of time. It covers just
enough to give a basic understanding of Latin, and to enable readers to
read and understand parts of the Bayeux Tapestry, the love poetry of
Catullus, or Saint Jerome's Vulgate. This book also aims to give a
deeper understanding of modern European languages, such as English,
French, Spanish, and Italian, through an understanding of the ancient
language at their heart.
