This Latin reader is one in a series of readers (Latin and Greek) compiled and self-published by Hadavas. Its texts are taken from Charles H. Beeson’s 1925 compilation, A Primer of Medieval Latin: An Anthology of Poetry and Prose. Hadavas intends this book for the sort of “beginning–intermediate” students one might find in the first or second year of an undergraduate Latin program, i.e. students who have been given a semester or two of foundational instruction through a text like Wheelock’s Latin, and who are then expected to graduate to read unadapted Latin texts.
