Round-Up: December 20

Here is a round-up of today's Bestiaria Latina blog posts (you can browse through previous round-ups at the Bestiaria Latina Blog archives). For keeping up with the latest posts, there is the RSS feed, or you can subscribe by email.

LatinViaProverbs.com: I'm started back to work on the online guide to the Latin Via Proverbs book, with grammar notes and English translations, working through the book group by group.

This group includes a great saying about falling leaves and, even worse, falling trees: Post folia cadunt in te arbores.

AudioLatin.com: Verses: Here is some more audio for the Vulgate Verses book also - just the audio, but there is a link to a page where you can get English notes and commentary on these verses also. Today's group includes the famous declaration of Mary at the annunciation: Ecce, ancilla Domini.
