Henry Preston Vaughan Nunn

""An Introduction To Ecclesiastical Latin"" is a comprehensive guidebook written by Henry Preston Vaughan Nunn and originally published in 1922. The book is designed to provide readers with a thorough understanding of the Latin language as it was used in the Christian church during the Middle Ages. The book begins with an introduction to the history of the Latin language and its importance in the development of Christianity. It then moves on to cover the basics of Latin grammar, including the declension of nouns and the conjugation of verbs. Throughout the book, Nunn provides numerous examples of Latin texts from the Bible and other religious sources, along with translations and explanations to help readers understand the meaning and context of the language. The latter part of the book focuses on more advanced topics such as syntax, prosody, and the use of Latin in liturgical texts. Nunn also includes a helpful glossary of Latin terms and a list of common abbreviations used in ecclesiastical Latin. Overall, ""An Introduction To Ecclesiastical Latin"" is an essential resource for anyone interested in learning the language of the Christian church during the Middle Ages, whether for academic or personal reasons. It is written in a clear and accessible style that makes it suitable for both beginners and more advanced students of Latin.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
