I haven't posted here in a while, but am thrilled to report that our edition of Folchino dei Borfoni's 14th-c. Latin teaching texts of Virgil, Lucan, and other classical auctores came out in print last month!

Multos enim, quibus loquendi ratio non desit, invenias quos curiose potius loqui dixeris quam Latine
“You’ll find many who don’t lack an understanding of speech, and who, you might say, speak more in pedantry than in Latin.”
-Quintilian, 8.1

"worldly glories are fleeting"
from the old Latin

“Magna opera Domini exquisita in omnes voluntates ejus.”
It translates from Latin:, “Great are the works of the Lord; studied by all who delight in them.”
Psalm 111:2.

Imperial Rome's legacy is more than the ruins left behind. Perhaps Rome's legacy resides in Latin, an unchanging language and the bedrock of legislation.

Veni. Vidi. Conveni. Consedi.
I came. I saw. I fitted. I sitted.

LATIN WORD: Solstice
sol·stice ☀️
origin of the word is derived from Latin word sōlstitium
It literally translates to “the (apparent) standing still of the sun.” That's because sōl means sun and sister means to stand still or “to come to a stop.” #AncientBlueSky #LatinLanguage

I love the Latin word “est.” It’s like someone said one day:
#LatinLanguage #AncientBlueSky
Quid est? What is it?
Quis est? Who is it?
homō "human"
habet "has"
habeō "I have"

We need to bring #LatinLanguage studies back into our schools. Latin prefixes and suffixes are helpful to figuring out word meanings. My advanced biology course instructor taught me many #LatinPrefixes and #LatinSuffixes. Anti is Latin for "against".
Pro is Latin for "for".
antiquita pictura Medici pestilentiarii cum texto.
Picturam antiquissimam medici pestilentiarii quaerebam. Pictura inventa, placet mihi quod dimidia Latine, dimidia Germanice. Dimidium legere possum! Nunc habeo satis linguae Latinae ut cum viro mortuo (Paulus Furst) colloquar :)
