Oxford Latin Course by Maurice Balme and James Morwood is one of the most widely used Latin courses in English-speaking schools. This is the complete four-volume set: Parts I, II and III in the Full Colour Second Edition, together with the companion Oxford Latin Reader, all published by Oxford University Press. The copies offered here were printed between 1997 and 2001 (Part III 1997, Part II 1999, Part I 2000 and the Reader 2001).
The Oxford Latin Course combine modern and traditional teaching methods and are built around a continuous narrative following the life of the poet Horace, which brings the world of Cicero and Augustus to life as the grammar is learnt. Each chapter introduces new grammar and vocabulary alongside short background essays on Roman life, history, religion and literature, and the books are illustrated in full colour throughout, with grammar reference sections and vocabularies at the back.
The Oxford Latin Reader accompanies Part III and is the bridge from adapted Latin to the real thing. It contains extracts from Cicero, Caesar, Catullus, Virgil, Livy and Ovid, each introduced and supported with a glossary of difficult vocabulary and usages, so that students can approach the original texts with confidence.
Having all four volumes together saves the trouble of tracking down individual parts. Oxford Latin Course will suit pupils studying Latin at school, parents supporting them, home-schooling families, and adults teaching themselves Latin or returning to the classics.
Condition – Very Good
All four volumes are oversize paperbacks in very good condition, each showing some light shelf wear to the covers, edges and corners. The Oxford Latin Reader and Part III are protected in clear plastic covers. A clean, presentable matching set from the same publisher.
