More Latin for the Illiterati: A Guide to Everyday Medical, Legal, and Religious LatinScientia est potentia (knowledge is power)!

This collection also makes an ideal gift. Praise for the first Illiterati collection: "If you're a student trying to improve your vocabulary, this is a great book... For those who have forgotten their three years of parochial-school Latin, this is really great book." --Publisher's Weekly "A ready-reference dream come true..." --American Libraries Also of interest: Latin for the Illiterati: Exorcizing the Ghosts of a Dead |
