Description
Presents over one hundred Latin texts written for the most part in or about lands that would become, or currently are, part of The United States. Preceding each Latin text is an English introduction, and each text is annotated with historical and at times linguistic detail. These texts range chronologically from Adam of Bremen's brief notice of Vinland (11th century) to an excerpt from an address delivered at the Second Vatican Council. Numerous genres are represented, including personal and professional letters, speeches, diaries, inscriptions, treatises, as well as poetry.
