Navigatio Sancti Brendani Abbatis: The Voyage of St. Brendan: a Latin Reader in Two Levels

Navigatio Sancti Brendani Abbatis: The Voyage of St. Brendan: a Latin Reader in Two Levels contains the full, original Latin text of the Navigatio Sancti Brendani Abbatis, which is a story about an Irish monk who sails the Atlantic looking for the Promised Land of the Saints. This is a Latin reader intended for beginning and intermediate students, so every page of Latin text has a full glossary on the facing page. These glossaries include every word on the facing page, unlike most glossaries, which omit common words. The book also includes a much simpler version of the text that students can read before attempting the original text. Extensive footnotes are included with the original Latin text explaining any difficult grammar or concepts. The text uses classical spellings and macrons are used. With its two levels of difficulty, this book makes a great supplementary text for the Latin classroom and has been priced to make it accessible for everyone. Additionally, the story is authentic, inherently interesting, and gives students a great example of medieval Latin.
