Selections from the Vulgate: A Translation Course in Biblical Latin Teacher Key

Between 382 and 405 A.D., St. Jerome translated the Bible into Latin from the original languages. He strove not only for accuracy, but simplicity. The result was the Latin Vulgate, a version of the Bible that could be read and understood by those who knew the “common Latin” which was spoken by the people of the time. Because of this, the Latin of the Vulgate provides excellent translation practice for Latin students who have completed a study of the Latin grammar.

Selections from the Vulgate is an independent course in Biblical Latin translation. The Student Workbook contains ninety passages of both prose and poetry, from the creation of the world in Genesis to the gospels. Each reading is accompanied by vocabulary and grammar notes, as well as parsing and analysis exercises to practice a close grammatical reading of each passage of scripture. The Teacher Key contains answers to all exercises in the Student Workbook.

Prerequisites: Selections from the Vulgate is a standalone course meant to be taken after one’s study of Latin grammar. We would recommend either completion of the Memoria Press Forms Series of Henle Latin I first.
