The Origins of the Gospel According to St. Matthew

The Origins of the Gospel According to St. Matthew
by G. D. Kilpatrick



Praise for Kilpatrick's book:

The book has stood the test of time and for the past sixty years has been regularly referred to and discussed in many a learned monograph or article on Matthew as well as in the standard commentaries on that Gospel. Few academic theses enjoy such longevity. Kilpatrick’s investigation had revitalized and rejuvenated New Testament source criticism in general and Matthaean studies in particular.

CAAS: Day 3

Saturday and Sunday were both excellent days. I talked to many more people about Bolchazy-Carducci's books. As much as you appreciate us, we appreciate you. Thanks to you, our sales were strong. I hope to see you again next year.

On Saturday, I met Josh Rocchio in person. We've known each other through the Latin Wikipedia for awhile, and we finally ran into each other. I also think I saw Basil Gildersleeve, or was it Edith Hamilton? Neither actually, several CAAS members dressed up as people from the past to give a retrospective on the 100th anniversary.

On Sunday the book display was open until noon. After I packed up the books and changed my clothes I did a little more sightseeing in DC. I walked to the Woodrow Wilson House, where I saw some books on the shelf that looked suspiciously like the Loeb books, but I didn't look close enough to see for sure. They were red or green and all about the right size. I'll let someone else have the pleasure of finding out.

CAAS 2007: Day 2

Today is starting out much quieter than yesterday, but with good reason. All of the surprises have been uncovered (I hope). I'm really happy to hear from Latin teachers and professors that they are using our books. All of the work we do before publication becomes worth it when I hear these comments.

Yesterday was wonderful. The book display was going so well that Mary English--hats off to her for putting on a wonderful conference--extended the display until 6 PM. It makes for a long day, but when you are talking to people about books, Latin and the like the day does fly.

I had a chance to meet many of our authors yesterday. It's good to put a face to names and e-mail correspondents. Though I don't know many people attending CAAS, I did get a chance to talk to a few friends and make new acquaintances.

After hours, I met up with a friend I met at conventiculum last summer. We walked around DC and talked about teaching Latin, life and everything. His students are lucky to have a teacher who burns with passion for Latin.

CAAS 2007: Day 1

After a much delayed flight out of O'Hare, I finally got to Washington at 11:30. I caught the last Metro train of the night! I almost had to walk from the airport to the hotel (not really, but it's funnier that way). I collapsed at my hotel after midnight and the wake-up call came much too soon after that. Since I've quit caffeine, we'll see how the decaf morning works with the nearly sleepless night.

This morning I arrived at the Jury's Washington Hotel where CAAS is having their 100th Annual Meeting. Congratulations to CAAS!

I've already run into an author looking for one of his books. Luckily we had it. So if you're at CAAS, be sure to stop by and buy the book so Prof. Mills can sign it for you. And not just his books, but other CAAS authors are represented here. Be sure to stop by and take a look.

Introduction to Latin Prose Composition

Introduction to Latin Prose Composition
by Milena Minkova



This book is a unique reference tool for anyone already acquainted with the fundamentals of Latin. It provides easy and efficient access to a variety of subjects in Latin composition. The ten chapters deal with conveying messages (simple sentences), creating a text (connecting independent sentences), communicating complex messages (subordination), expressing relationships within a clause, word order, and vocabulary. Plentiful examples foster a close familiarity with the Latin language, which can help develop Latin compositional skills and in turn make access to any Latin text easier and more pleasant.

The last two chapters propose practical exercises for reworking ancient texts and composing Latin following ancient models.

Features:
• Ten chapters total, with detailed Table of Contents for easy reference
• Last two chapters act as a guide to reworking Latin texts and free composition
• Bibliography

Milena Minkova is the author of The Personal Names of the Latin Inscriptions from Bulgaria to Their Attribution and The Protean Ratio, and of articles on Latin composition, lexicology and lexicography, and the spread of the Latin language. She has done research at the University of Geneva as Kazarow scholar, at the University of Heidelberg as DAAD scholar, at the Italian Institute for Philosophical Studies in Naples, and is a regular fellow of Academia Latinitati Fovendae. She is coauthor (with Terence Tunberg) of Reading Livy’s Rome (Bolchazy-Carducci, 2005) and Latin for the New Millennium (Bolchazy-Carducci, 2008).

NJCL Day 2

Today was quieter than yesterday, so I had the chance to speak to people about technology and teaching Classics. A few Latin teachers are using SMART technology, course management systems (like Moodle and Desire2Learn), and data projectors with PowerPoint. Folks were enthusiastic about the current Looking at Latin project where Anna Andresian is creating on-line drills for her Latin grammar book, and I am laying them out into an easy-to-read, on-line format. Look for the new Looking at Latin web site at APA, this coming January.

We are also working on developing electronic and on-line materials in support of our new Latin for the New Millennium series for students in their first and second year of Latin.

Our Classical Mythology and More trading cards were a hit with teachers, too -- I gave away 150 sets (24 cards in a set) in about two hours, and am looking forward to seeing these cards developed into a game that is both fun to play and can be used to study for the Medusa mythology exam! Look for more card sets and perhaps even a prototype of the game at either APA or CAMWS in 2008.

See you at NJCL next year in Miami, Ohio! Thanks to everyone who stopped by to say hello in Knoxville, and for their support of our latest books and projects.

NJCL: Day 1

After being delayed in Chicago and arriving at 9 in Knoxville on the evening dedicated to setting up the NJCL Teaching Materials area (which was open from 7:30-9:00 for publishers to make things look pretty), getting my luggage lost, having my breakfast delivered to the wrong room, learning from UT Conferences that just because materials were shipped to the UT Convention Center doesn't mean that's where they'll wind up, I caught a ride into campus with a fellow exhibitor in the same boat as me and we arrived at the Art and Architecture Building at 8:15. This left me with 45 minutes to set up four tables of over 75 titles, drawing from 8 boxes, and then artfully organizing them into categories like "New Stuff" (To Be a Roman and Classical Mythology and More), "Wheelockiana" (the state of Latin), "Grammar!" (including the always-popular Looking at Latin), "Vergiliana" (the state adjacent to Latin -- at a higher elevation), "World of Workbooks" (WoW!), "Buttonia" (the state under Latin -- buttons, buttons, buttons), and the "Island of Smith" (Latin dictionary). Most of the land has eroded away due to zealous purchasing by Latin teachers whose budgets had been approved for the school year.

The gates opened at 8:45 (scheduled for 9:00) and I didn't do anything but sell until 12:30 at which point the Latinists evaporated like rain in a Tuscan summer. Nobody cared that I was wearing a 2-day old shirt, jeans, and indoor soccer shoes -- they all were after To Be a Roman and Classical Mythology and More. It was a delight to talk about these new books, and about forthcoming teachers' manuals and other fun (and electronic!) projects. Teachers are quite happy that we'll be publishing a web site dedicated to Looking at Latin, and they are hopeful that future digital initiatives will come out with other titles. And teachers are also asking about Latin for the New Millennium which many of them want to try.

More on NJCL for Day 2, tomorrow. Thanks to everyone at NJCL who made today such a great day for us!

The Young Romans

The Young Romans
by Rose Williams



Roman historians and authors recount the tales of many Roman youth who had influence—for better or for worse—upon their society and therefore upon subsequent history. Ascanius, Camilla, Cloelia, Alexander the boy Emperor, and many more are highlighted in 24 entertaining chapters.

Designed for beginning high-school and middle-school students of Latin, The Young Romans tells the stories of these youth, in simple Latin with background notes, grammatical helps, and exercises. Mark Bennington’s distinctive line illustrations enliven the Latin text.

Students will enjoy reading and discussing how the actions of these young people of ancient Rome measure up to modern as well as to their own era’s ethical standards—how they succeeded and where they failed. This reader makes an excellent choice for a character-based curriculum.

A Teachers’ Edition (full student text, translations, answers, and more) is available separately.

Student Text features:
• introductory outline of Roman history
• 24 chapters of short stories about Roman youth in easy Latin
• background notes, grammatical helps
• exercises include comprehension questions, derivatives, special activities,
crossword puzzles
• lively line drawings and illustrations throughout
• full vocabulary

Rose Williams has done work in Latin at Baylor University, the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, University of Texas at Arlington, and the University of Dallas. She did research at the Bodleian Library in Oxford and the University of Pisa. She taught Latin for over thirty years at both high school and university levels, and does frequent workshops and presentations on the Latin language and Latin pedagogy. She is the author of fourteen published books including Once Upon the Tiber and Vergil for Beginners.
