It’s an almost guaranteed word association match! Indeed, for generations of Latin students, Bradley’s Arnold Latin Prose Composition served as the bible for rendering English into proper Latin. Surf the internet today, and you’ll find that this classic continues as a key- stone for scores of Latin programs in the United States and throughout the English-speaking world. Latin prose composition for the serious Latin student is a compelling undertaking, one that many consider the sine qua non for really mastering Latin.

Thus, with due reverence, I undertook the daunting task of maintaining the integrity of Arnold’s text while updating it for the modern student. To that end, this new edition offers a redesigned format, one easier on the eye and more user- friendly. We have “opened up” the text through more generous spacing for a less dense and more accessible text. Nomenclature like “indirect dis- ix
