Beginners and experts alike will find a complete immersion into the
workings and nature of the Latin language embodied in the
incomparable, insuperable epistles of the great Marcus Tullius
Cicero, something which other commentators pass over or scorn. This
second volume puts "meat on the bones" of the Latin language
presented in the first volume: Ossa Latinitatis Sola: The Mere
Bones of Latin. The personal letters of Cicero provide ample meat
to enflesh the skeletal structure of the language, thus the title:
Ossium Carnes Multae: The Bones' Meats Abundant from the epistles
of Marcus Tullius Cicero. Part 1 presents 51 complete letters from
the Tyrell-Purser text. Facing each letter is an image of its
oldest manuscript edition as early as the ninth century, which are
preserved and guarded in the Medicea Laurentiana library in
Florence, Italy, witnessing to the human hand preserving this
monument of world heritage for over two millennia. Part 2 follows
with a most careful rendition into English of Tully's living,
telephone-like Latin discourse. A thorough treatment and
explanation of noteworthy elements of his natural talk follows with
numerous references to the Encounters in Volume I. All this has
students, learners, teachers, experts of the Latin language in mind
and is humbly designed to deepen the understanding and appreciation
of specific expressions and peculiarities of Cicero's language
itself. Part 3 provides 500 sentences consisting of from 1 to 5
words and suited for the beginnings or continuation of Latin
conversations: 200 declarations, 100 questions, 100 exclamations,
100 injunctions drawn from his letters. The volume is amply
indexed. All this has been done to enhance the study and use of
Latin, to popularize Cicero's correspondence, to prepare the reader
for Volume III which will deal again with the letters and their
usefulness for Latin conversation.
