• Gold Book Gets A Gold Star! 11 October, 2004
Don't let the title turn you off. This is an excellent resource for those of us not yet fluent in Latin.
Each of the 555 verbs has several sentences using the verb, in the original Latin (no simplification, at least with the quotes I checked), with English translations (aah!). Writers whose works are quoted include Ovid, Vergil, Lucretius, Tacitus, Livy and Cicero.
It has Top 40 verbs. For each of these 40, in addition to the regular page that fully conjugates the verb, the following page has a dozen or more definitions for that one verb.
For instance, there are 17 definitions for "traho/trahere." Each definition has one to three original Classical Latin sentences using the verb in that particular context.
Limited to those 40 verbs, "555" is better than most dictionaries.
If I had to complain (aside from the MTV lingo), the text could be a little darker, and the separation between sections within the conjugation (indicative, subjunctive, etc.) could be more distinctive. Minor stuff. Forget I said it.
Macrons are included; altogether there are 3,400 Latin sentences as examples; a separate section for irregular verbs; a cross-referenced index with 2,500 verbs; and an English-to-Latin verb index.
I can't praise THE BIG GOLD BOOK OF LATIN VERBS highly enough! I urge everyone studying Latin to invest in this book.
