Learn Latin by Peter Jones

Taken from the "QED" series of teach-yourself Latin articles published in the "Daily Telegraph" and the "Sunday Telegraph", this book aims to give its readers a basic knowledge of Latin in a short space of time. It covers just enough to give a basic understanding of Latin, and to enable readers to read and understand parts of the Bayeux Tapestry, the love poetry of Catullus, or Saint Jerome's "Vulgate". This book also aims to give a deeper understanding of modern European languages, such as English, French, Spanish, and Italian, through an understanding of the ancient language at their heart.
Peter Jones was co-founder of The Friends of Classics, Senior Lecturer in Classics at the University of Newcastle, and one of the best-known figures in the teaching of the Classics. He regular contributed to national newspapers (The Daily Telegraph, The Spectator and TLS), and the author of highly successful books such as Learn Latin, Learn Ancient Greek and the Classics in Translation (also published by Bloomsbury).
