VULGATE VERSES

This book and its companion website, , are designed to help you study Latin using the Vulgate Bible. Like my earlier book, Latin Via Proverbs: 4000 Proverbs for Students of Latin (also available from Lulu Publishers), this book is organized according to grammatical categories. This method allows you to find easy-to-read Bible verses (or parts of verses) which are suited to your level of Latin, whether you are a beginning or an intermediate student.

Beginning Latin students. If you are a beginning Latin student, do not try to work through this book from start to finish. Rather than follow this book's order, you should follow the order in which the nouns and verbs are presented in your textbook, using the Table of Contents in this book to find the specific groups of verses that match the nouns and verbs you are studying.

Intermediate Latin students. If you are an intermediate Latin student who already has completed a course in Latin, you can use this book as a systematic review of Latin grammar. You either can work through this book from start to finish, or you can focus on the specific categories of Latin nouns and verbs that you most want to practice.

Latin Via Proverbs. An excellent way to use this book is in conjunction with the Latin proverbs and sayings collected in Latin Via Proverbs: 4000 Proverbs for Students of Latin. These two books complement each other very nicely because of the types of grammatical constructions that are characteristic of proverbs, as opposed to the types of constructions most commonly found in the Biblical text. Latin Via Proverbs is especially strong on present tense verb forms, but weak on the perfect verb system. Vulgate Verses, on the other hand, is especially strong on the perfect verb system. By working with both books together, you can get a solid overview of the entire range of Latin verb forms.
