This reader of Virgil's text features passages from the first half
of the Aeneid and is designed to help students understand and
appreciate Virgil's poem, as well as improve their Latin reading
skills. Each Latin passage is accompanied by running vocabulary,
on-page commentary notes and targeted questions. The book can be
used as a source of one-off unseen passages or as a reader for
students working through individual books or the whole poem. The
commentary notes explain references to characters, places and
events, provide linguistic and grammatical help on more challenging
Latin phrases, and point out stylistic features. The questions test
students' comprehension of the characters and storyline, and give
them practice in handling literary terms. The passages are linked
by summaries of the continuing plot, so students can grasp the
progression of the poem as a whole. An in-depth introduction sets
the story of the Aeneid in its mythological, literary and
historical contexts; a glossary of literary devices and sections on
style and metre are included. At the end of the book is a complete
alphabetical vocabulary list.
This collection of 15 tests is modelled on those used in GCSE
examinations. The first few are at the standard of Foundation Tier
and provide appropriate practice for Foundation Tier candidates as
well as an easier introduction to the harder tests for Higher Tier
candidates. The remaining tests are designed for Higher Tier
candidates. All the tests contain a range of grammatical and
syntactical features appropriate for GCSE and assume a basic
knowledge of about 500 words of vocabulary; other words and proper
names are glossed. Each test consists of three sections: a passage
of about 60 words, tested by simple comprehension questions; a
passage of about 100 words, for translation; and a passage of about
90 words, tested by more demanding questions. A gradient of
difficulty is maintained throughout the Latin. Each test also has
two mark schemes, suitable for use by the teacher or by the student
for self-assessment.

This is the endorsed publication from OCR and Bloomsbury for the
Latin AS and A-Level (Group 3) prescription of Aeneid Book XI,
lines 1-224, and the A-Level (Group 4) prescription of Aeneid Book
XI, lines 498-521, 532-596, 648-689, and 725-835, giving full Latin

In Book XI Pallas, the warrior son of Evander who was killed by
Turnus, is buried, amid the mourning of his father and the Trojans.
After a truce to collect and bury the dead on both sides, fighting
resumes, during which the warrior-maiden Camilla battles bravely
for the Latins before being killed. The events of the book take up
just four days: Pallas' funeral occupies the first; the second and
third are devoted (briefly) to the truce and burials; the fourth,
taking up the second half of the book, is concerned with Camilla's
aristeia, in which she is likened to an Amazon. Resources are

This book consists of a separately available list of mark schemes
(a teacher's key) to accompany the author's Latin Language Tests
for Levels 1, 2 & GCSE.
This collection of tests provides practice for students preparing
to take the new Latin language examinations at the WJEC examination
board Levels 1 and 2. It also includes tests similar to those used
in the OCR examination board GCSE examinations. The book is divided
into five sections, each devoted to a different format or level of
tests. Words that are not expected to be known at each level are
glossed. The range of grammatical and syntactical features is
similar to that found in the public examinations. The tests are
designed to cover translation and comprehension of specially
constructed stories in Latin. Readers are not expected to have
familiarity with any particular course book, and the stories may
also be used simply as a graduated Latin reader, if desired. Also
available from Bloomsbury: Latin Language Tests, by Mark Schemes

This collection of Latin unseen passages forms a companion volume
to Latin Momentum Tests for GCSE, and is intended to be used
similarly by students preparing for examinations at AS, A2 and AEA
levels. The largest section is set at AS level and comprises prose
passages forming a coherent story based on original sources but
simplified to maintain a level of difficulty appropriate for this
level. A knowledge of a typical vocabulary list of about 1000 words
is assumed. Most of the rest of the passages are, with rare
exceptions, unadapted Latin, both prose and verse, taken from the
authors used in the examinations. Difficult or rare words are
glossed. The last few passages are of a standard of difficulty
appropriate to AEA level. All passages are of a similar length and
format to those used in the examinations. One sample mark scheme
has been included to give teachers and students some insight into
how these unseens are marked in the examinations.
