Excerpt from Hints on the Study of Latin: A. D 125-750

Latin literature may be conveniently, if somewhat arbitrarily, divided into a number of periods. The first period might be called the pre-Ciceronian, and would include the works of Plautus, Terence, Cato, and various fragments. The second period is the Ciceronian, of which Cicero and C�sar are the great representatives in prose. The surviving works of Cicero cover a period of nearly forty years, and enable us to trace the gradual fashioning of one of the most wonderful literary instruments ever wielded by man. His contemporary, C�sar, is classed with him, in spite of certain differences of idiom which show themselves. In the opinion of those who have studied pagan Latin prose literature from the point of view of style, these are the greatest names. Only less great are those of the third period, which begins in Cicero's later life and may for convenience be called the Augustan period.

Latin Bible: Pending the appearance of Pfarrer J. Denk's collection of the fragments of the Old Latin version or versions of the Bible, to be published in four large quarto volumes by Fock Of Leipzig, the reader must still employ the three folios of Sabatier (reims, 1743-1749; Paris, 1749 This can be supplemented by old-latin Biblical Texts (oxford University Press) and other works. The best complete edition Of the Vulgate is edited by Hetzenauer (innsbruck); the best Of the New Testament is the smaller edition Of Wordsworth and White (oxford University Press and British and Foreign Bible Society); down to and including the Epistle to the Romans the best edition is the larger edition 'of Wordsworth and White (oxford University Press). Among various concordances to the Vulgate, that _of - Dutripon (paris) may be mentioned. On the language of Biblical texts in general, the Itala und Vulgata of H. Ronsch (marburg) is-still important, though now capable Of very considerable additions.
