An edition designed for intermediate students of Latin containing the text of the Historia de Septem Dormientibus (the Seven Sleepers of Ephesus) from Jacobus de Voragine’s Legenda Aurea (or Golden Legend). This tale of time-travel-via-miraculous-sleep is enjoyable for anyone interested in Late Antiquity, early Christianity (and medieval Christian historiography and hagiography), the Roman economy in the 3rd to 4th centuries CE, or just a good story. Each page of Latin faces a running vocabulary that contains the first appearance of each word NOT found in the DCC core Latin vocabulary. Footnotes shed light on Late and Medieval Latin orthography and usage as well as cultural and historical context. The short introduction explains the historical context of the narrative and of the text itself. Price includes shipping within the USA.
