The Life of Saint Joan of Arc: An Intermediate Latin Reader (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781725830950)

Joan of Arc, the illiterate peasant girl who helped Charles VII to victory over the English in 1429 before being burned at the stake as a witch and heretic in 1431, remains one of the most fascinating figures in history. This book presents her life story as told by her contemporary, Pope Pius II, in an eminently readable Latin account.This student edition contains an introduction, Latin text with macrons, running vocabulary, running notes, comprehension questions, and complete glossary. It is suitable for students who have completed some Latin study but still need extensive help with grammar and vocabulary. The Latin is clear and generally in the Classical idiom, making it an excellent text for students, even those who have read little authentic Latin.
