The area in which people speak Urdu as their mother tongue includes
east and west Pakistan (where, with Bangali, it functions as the
official language of the land) and northern India. The language in

grammatical equipment and vocabulary necessary to conduct oneself
in areas of Pakistan and India in which Urdu is the language of
communication. Developed over a period of fifteen years, it is

Optische Instrumente des 17. Jahrhunderts aus Augsburg sind kaum
erhalten. Auch die fruhen Optiker sind nahezu volligem Vergessen
anheimgefallen. Mit ihrer Arbeit uber Johann Wiesel und seine
Nachfolger schliesst die Verfasserin daher nicht nur eine Lucke in
der Handwerksgeschichte Augsburgs, sondern erbringt auch einen
Beitrag zur Fruhgeschichte der optischen Instrumente. Die Autorin,
die als Expertin ihres Forschungsgebietes internationale
Anerkennung geniesst, hat eine aussergewohnliche
Rekonstruktionsleistung vollbracht. Was Inge Keil in ihrer
Monographie erstmals und akribisch untersucht, ist eine bislang
kaum bekannte Verknupfung von Augsburger Leistungen mit der
europaischen Entwicklung. Obwohl die Hauptperson, um die es in der
Darstellung geht, mit der Signatur "Augustanus Opticus" ihre
Stadtzugehorigkeit betonte, handelte es sich um einen
zeitgenossisch europaweit bekannten und vernetzten Erfinder und
Hersteller fortgeschrittener optischer Technologie. Fur eine
bestimmte Phase stellten Gerate aus Augsburger Fertigung weltweit
fuhrende Spitzenprodukte dar, stand also die oberdeutsche
Reichsstadt und Zentrale sudmitteleuropaischen Austausches auch in
dieser Hinsicht im Mittelpunkt der einschlagigen Welt."

Although his audacious, erotic, and satirical verses survived the
Middle Ages in only a single copy, Catullus has become in our time
a canonical author, ranking in popularity and importance with
Virgil, Horace, and Ovid. And for students and teachers of Latin,
Daniel H. Garrison's "The Student's Catullus" is a definitive
introductory text. This fourth edition, thoroughly revised, makes
Catullus' famous poems more accessible than ever.
A comprehensive reference, "The Student's Catullus" includes the
following features:
- A brief overview of Catullus's life and artistic persona
- A fresh recension of all 113 poems
- A commentary in English on each poem, explaining difficult points
of Latin and salient aspects of Catullus' artistry
- A Who's Who of the people in Catullus' poems
- An explanation of Catullan meters
- A glossary of literary terms used in the commentary
- A complete Latin-English Catullan vocabulary
- Six reference maps
New to this fourth edition are dozens of additional notes to aid
comprehension, more nuanced definitions in the vocabulary list, and
amplified information in the appendices. In addition, Garrison has
expanded his introduction to include tips for students and
teachers. Drawing on years of classroom experience, Garrison urges
readers to avoid rote translation and instead engage thoroughly
with the poet's delightful language, syntax, structure, and rhythm.
