WHY THIS LIBRARY EXISTS
Not every Latin book.
Only books we translate.
Our purpose is to make the great stories of the world enjoyable in sound Classical Latin, one thoroughly prepared book at a time.
01
Our translations only
Every title in the catalogue belongs to our own Latin translation projects. We do not aim to recreate a universal Latin archive.
02
Fidelity and literary Latin
Whole texts are collated against their originals and reviewed for grammatical, idiomatic, and literary quality.
03
Responsible publication
A complete working manuscript is not necessarily a public edition. We verify rights and complete editorial review before release.
