Our own Latin book!

During our project, we worked about the cultural heritage of Europe.

Often we started from Latin texts as part of this cultural heritage.

(students from both partner schools working on the textbook)

We became familiar with texts and authors from different European countries and different times - and, as a result, with the culture and history of these countries. Our work guided us:

"From Latin text to European context" .

  One result of our project is our "European Latin Textbook": a collection of Latin texts, our translation of these texts into English, timelines about the time when the texts were written, an analysis of the texts and examples of reception.

And here it is:
