Et Cetera: An Illustrated Guide to Latin Phrases
Author(s): Maia Lee-Chin; Marta Bertello (Illustrator)
A beautifully illustrated guide to memorable Latin phrases, including famous quotations on love, death, nature, politics, and more.
Latin may be a "dead" language, but it's all around us--in science, philosophy, religion, and at the root of English grammar. From "carpe diem" to the more obscure "alea iacta est," classicist Maia Lee-Chin explains the fascinating origins of many Latin phrases still in use--as well as those that have been lost to the ages.
Each entry includes a direct translation, pronunciation, attribution, origin, and a striking, full-page illustration by Italian artist Marta Bertello. A beautiful object as well as a useful reference book, Et Cetera brings ancient knowledge and culture to life for readers of the 21st Century.
