NOTES AND TEXTS FOR ASPIRING STUDENTS OF ANTIQUITY

 

News

Purpose

The goal here at jcstexts is to produce and encourage the creation of commentaries after the Steadman (Pharr) type, allowing an increasingly greater number of Latin and Greek students all over the world to access the great texts from the ancient world in the original language.

For those unfamiliar with Steadman’s commentaries (see here), this means a commentary with running vocabulary, facing vocabulary and notes geared toward the intermediate student still wrestling with the details of morphology and syntax. I have adjusted and will continue to adjust peripheral details of my commentaries according to my own specific goals, but these core elements will remain the same.

Using Print-on-Demand through Amazon extends the availability of the texts to all of North America and Europe, while making them available for free download does the same for the rest of the world. Out of a desire to serve teachers, students, and autodidacts everywhere, I am committed to making this PDF always available alongside the printed book. To spread the love of ancient texts in their original languages please share the work going on here with your friends and colleagues. Feedback is always welcome!
