Classics
From the Renaissance to the nineteenth century, Latin and Greek were
compulsory subjects in almost all European universities, and most early
modern scholars published their research and conducted international
correspondence in Latin. Latin had continued in use in Western Europe long
after the fall of the Roman empire as the lingua franca of the educated classes
and of law, diplomacy, religion and university teaching. The flight of Greek
scholars to the West after the fall of Constantinople in 1453 gave impetus
to the study of ancient Greek literature and the Greek New Testament.
Eventually, just as nineteenth-century reforms of university curricula were
beginning to erode this ascendancy, developments in textual criticism and
linguistic analysis, and new ways of studying ancient societies, especially
archaeology, led to renewed enthusiasm for the Classics. This collection
offers works of criticism, interpretation and synthesis by the outstanding
scholars of the nineteenth century.
Key to Arnold’s Latin Prose Composition
Thomas K. Arnold’s Practical Introduction to Latin Prose Composition was
first published in 1839, and was later edited and revised by George Granville
Bradley (1821-1903) of University College, Oxford. This graduated and
systematic approach to elements of Latin grammar and syntax has been the
reference of choice for both teachers and students ever since, and has been
revised, updated and redesigned several times. The book reissued here is
a companion volume, first published by Bradley in 1881, which contains
answers to all the exercises in Arnold’s classic textbook. Long out of print, the
Key provides model Latin solutions to all the exercises, as well as pedagogical
footnotes and cross-references. A valuable resource for all instructors who
use Bradley’s Arnold, it will also be helpful to students wishing to write more
accurately in Latin.
Cambridge University Press has long been a pioneer in the reissuing of
out-of-print titles from its own backlist, producing digital reprints of
books that are still sought after by scholars and students but could not be
reprinted economically using traditional technology. The Cambridge Library
Collection extends this activity to a wider range of books which are still of
importance to researchers and professionals, either for the source material
they contain, or as landmarks in the history of their academic discipline.
Drawing from the world-renowned collections in the Cambridge
University Library, and guided by the advice of experts in each subject area,
Cambridge University Press is using state-of-the-art scanning machines
in its own Printing House to capture the content of each book selected for
inclusion. The files are processed to give a consistently clear, crisp image,
and the books finished to the high quality standard for which the Press
is recognised around the world. The latest print-on-demand technology
ensures that the books will remain available indefinitely, and that orders for
single or multiple copies can quickly be supplied.
The Cambridge Library Collection will bring back to life books of enduring
scholarly value (including out-of-copyright works originally issued by other
publishers) across a wide range of disciplines in the humanities and social
sciences and in science and technology.

1. Ego populi Romani suffragiis consul (7) sum factus, tibi
(5) ab (8, a) hostibus humani generis favetur. 2. Tres jam
dies (9, a) obsessum erat oppidum, quarto die expugnatum est.

8. Quum ad urbem prima luce pervenisset (14) principes
arcessivit. 9. Tibi ego nunquam nocui, mihi vero semper
invidisti et amicos meos odisti. 10. Quo (Intr. 58), {or qui-
bus or qua re) audito, (or quod cum audivisset,) tres horas
constitit, meridie vero rursus iter incepit. 11. Haec locutus

Great care should be taken to correct and explain such mistakes in
this Exercise as violate the preceding rules. No advance should be
made till it can be done correctly, and the constructions explained.
Some attention should also be paid to the order, so far at all events
as to disallow mere English order. Attention might be called to the
inversion of the order in 4 and 7 (Intr. 107) ; to the juxtaposition
of tibi and ego in 9 (Intr. 106).
