About This Item
Gordonsville, Virginia, U.S.A.: St Martins Pr, 1999. First US Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good +/Very Good +. 122 p.; VG+/VG+, very nice, clean HC in unclipped glossy DJ; has small red remainder mark on bottom of text block, otherwise like new. Pages numbered I -CXXII. A lighthearted introduction to Latin, in the manner of phrasebooks for travellers. You will not find "la plume de ma tante" or "a postilion struck by lightning", but if you ever need to order flamingo tongues or peacock brains in ancient Rome, you will not be at a loss. Includes a recipe for liquamen, an essential in the Roman kitchen. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
