Summary: Helpful companion to the classics
Review: You know the feeling. You're reading a great book (usually written before 1960) and the author casually tosses out a Latin phrase (like "ipso facto," etc.) and you feel left out because you never studied Latin. Perhaps your handy paperback dictionary contains a "Foreign Words and Phrases" appendix, but it's too limited and you don't know where else to turn. Well, help is on the way. Richard Branyon compiled this helpful book just for you. It's not a substitute for a classical education, but it will certainly whet your intellectual appetite and enhance your understanding of the text at hand. Carpe diem! Caveat emptor: specialist medical and legal terms are excluded.
