Presents texts ranging from about 450 BC to about 100 BC to exemplify such features in their original setting and to illustrate the linguistic and stylistic development of Latin prose. Also serves as a reader of archaic Latin texts as an alternative to Ernout's widely read one. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
