Basics of Latin

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Derek Cooper’s Basics of Latin fills a void that the usual Latin grammars wholly ignore, for it aims at the vast bulk of the surviving corpus of Latin writings, namely, the patristic, medieval, Renaissance, and Reformation authors. Covering the wealth and variety of the texts of these writers (Augustine is not Bede is not Thomas Kempis is not Lorenzo Valla is not Calvin), Dr. Cooper treats the items that are most regular in this panoply of authors, while touching as well on some of the idiosyncrasies. It meets a great need that in my own education had to have a graduate course to fill. It looks not to supplant the study of the classics but to dive into the vast world of Latin literature that runs up into the seventeenth century century and even beyond. Growing up in a time when there is no God but Cicero, and Wheelock is his prophet, this text gives to students the rest of the Latin world.”
