Libellus Fabularum Latinarum

Libellus Fabularum Latinarum is a book of sixty individual short stories written in Latin. This compilation consists of a variety of creative, original stories, familiar Latin and Greek myths, and historical and cultural topics suitable for beginning students of Latin. It is intended to be used as a companion text to the 1984 edition of Jenny's First Year Latin by Charles Jenny, Charles Scudder, and Eric Baade. Each story incorporates the vocabulary and grammatical constructions particular to each of the sixty chapters of the Jenny text or preceding chapters. The goal of each story, therefore, is to review learned vocabulary and grammar and to provide practice with the new material found in each chapter of the Jenny text. In addition, each story imparts in an enjoyable and interesting fashion some aspect of Greek or Roman culture for students to translate from Latin into English. All unfamiliar vocabulary is footnoted at the end of each story which reduces dictionary searching.
